In high-precision bioengineering and synthetic biology, the fine-tuning of gene expression at transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels is essential. This involves a detailed understanding and ...

A newly discovered promoter element "start" points to a shared regulatory syntax for controlling transcription initiation in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

Plant bioengineering—in which plant genes are modified to include desirable characteristics—is the key to solutions for problems concerning crop resilience and food security. Elements like gene ...

Different mechanisms have been proposed to explain the specificity of enhancer-promoter interactions, including promoter competition and insulator DNA elements. In the 9 July Proceedings of the ...
