Mice and newts were applied to the one-step Cre-loxP organism creation technology by TAx9. In this study, the researchers succeeded in synthesizing a Cre-loxP integrated vector by placing a short DNA ...

Epigenetics is the study of various heritable alterations that control gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. 1 The name epigenetics comes from the Greek prefix “epi”, which means on top ...

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 ...

In a new study published in Cell Reports, researchers at the University of Freiburg reveal how a disordered protein segment helps connect two key steps of gene expression: the reading of genes and the ...

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are actively expressed at any given time in a cell determines what type of cell it ...
