Their primary products are seeds for corn, soy, and sugar beets. There have been numerous objections to these products. Some ...

For example, nerve cells express genes that help them send messages to other nerve cells, whereas immune cells express genes that help them make antibodies. In large part, this highly regulated ...

As the video explains, although two organisms may both possess the same gene linked to a particular trait, this trait may not be expressed unless the gene is turned on. This is done by an enhancer ...

A switch to turn genes on/off on cue Yen and his colleagues developed a system that turns genes on to different levels on cue using small molecules at FDA-approved doses. The switch is placed in ...

Researchers say they can improve rice harvests and grain quality by essentially turning off a temperature-sensitive gene ...

Our DNA contains the functional instructions for all of our cells, from the cells in our brains to the cells in our bones and our blood. But it is only by activating and deactivating different ...

Activator proteins bind to regulatory sites on DNA nearby to promoter regions that act as on/off switches. This binding facilitates RNA polymerase activity and transcription of nearby genes.

We were able to engineer our system in such a way that it works at the FDA-approved dosage.” A switch to turn genes on/off on cue Yen and his colleagues developed a system that turns genes on to ...

Within five years, we will have mapped the methylation patterns of our genes. The DNA base cytosine is often modified by a chemical unit called a methyl group. This can switch genes off and on ...
