A study reveals that the HDAC5 enzyme regulates the gene Scn4b, which affects neuronal activity in the brain's reward regions ...

For instance, a transcription factor—a mobile protein that drives expression of a target ... individual contributions of these two mechanisms to gene expression divergence.

Bier’s group previously exploited this mutation to develop a gene editing tool, called a gene drive, that reverted the mutated ion channel in a fruit fly model back to the wild type version. 2 Gene ...

Many scientists agree that a new approach is needed to eliminate the disease, and researchers at the nonprofit Target Malaria think that genetic modification through "gene drives" is the way to do it.

In lab populations of genetically engineered mosquitoes, mutations arose that blocked the gene drive’s spread and restored female fertility. Jef Akst was managing editor of The Scientist, where she ...

A research team at KAIST has identified the core gene expression networks regulated by key proteins that fundamentally drive phenomena ... had uncovered essential mechanisms controlling gene ...

Not all genes are active at all times. DNA methylation is one of several epigenetic mechanisms that cells use to control gene expression. This straightforward experiment demonstrated that it was ...

Researchers have discovered the mechanism that drives the parasitic vine Cuscuta campestris to insert organs into plants after making contact with the hosts.
