An innovative CRISPR-Cas12f-based activator system may hold significant potential in the future of gene therapy and biological research, suggest researchers of a new study. The study highlights the ...

From the TATA box to alternative splicing and noncoding RNAs, scientists are uncovering the intricate choreography that controls gene expression. These molecular mechanisms determine when, where, and ...

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 ...

Gene expression is the intricate process that turns DNA instructions into functional molecules, shaping everything from cell identity to health outcomes. Recent breakthroughs in measurement tools and ...

The research team discovered that this type of regulation, which appears to influence the expression of about half of all human genes, is found throughout the animal kingdom, as well as in plants. The ...

“This is the first detailed study of how and where ORC regulates epigenetics and gene expression in human cells,” said Anindya Dutta, Ph.D., leader of the study and chair of the University of Alabama ...

A figure from the paper illustates a key finding of "compromised compartmentalization": chromatin that was locking genes down in health became more open in Alzheimer's, while chromatin that was open ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of RNA molecule that do not carry instructions to make proteins. Instead, they influence how other genes are expressed. There are tens of thousands of lncRNAs ...

About RSwitch RSwitch is a proprietary regulatable gene therapy system that enables oral, small molecule drug control of transgene levels in gene and cell therapy applications. RSwitch encodes a ...
