Haas will be celebrating a significant milestone at the Canadian Grand Prix, as the American outfit contests its 200th race.

As multiple companies vie to expand on Alnylam’s success in commercializing RNAi therapeutics, the pioneering company has set ...

For years, anecdotal evidence and old wives' tales suggested various origins for intelligence, but what does modern science actually say? Get ready to put those family debates to rest, because we're ...

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

Most enhancers worked like a volume dial, turning gene activity up or down. Surprisingly, certain combinations acted like on/off switches. The scientists call this "negative synergy," meaning two ...

“Whereas CRISPR-Cas9 is normally a pair of molecular scissors, dCas9 acts as an on-off switch,” Qi said. The dCas9 enzyme sticks to specific DNA sequences and blocks protein production and ...

In that case, the equivalent of a genetic on-off switch from an ocean pout ... Often called CRISPR, gene editing allows researchers to disable a gene or add one for a desirable trait by modifying ...

Being able to predict which genes are turned on, off, up or down in different cells could help determine the cell of origin for a disease. A model that makes accurate predictions about gene ...

control gene expression by "flipping" the genes' on/off switches. TFs come in many different varieties, with current studies estimating over 1600 of them in the human genome alone. Enhancer "motifs" ...

One problem with gene therapy is it's irreversible. But that's also where Ding's idea has taken off. "My idea centers around an on/off switch in gene therapy, to be triggered by a certain ...

The main characteristic of this binary on/off model is that when the signal arrives at the gene, it is switched on in a stable way for the entire duration of the period of transcription.
