Enhancers are pieces of DNA that act like switches, regulating when genes are turned on and off and how strongly they are activated.

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...

Professor Hirohide Saito (Department of Life Science Frontiers at CiRA / The University of Tokyo) and Assistant Professor Hirohisa Ohno (Department of Life Science Frontiers at CiRA) recently led a ...

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, intriguingly, many of the most important proteins involved in gene ...

To help achieve more precise control of gene therapy, engineers have designed a new control circuit that can keep gene expression levels within a target range. The method could be used to deliver ...

After a decade of research, the NIH 4D Nucleome program on July 23 delivered a wealth of new insights into how spatial ...
