WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A team led by Purdue University soybean geneticist Jianxin Ma has developed a new biotechnological tool for the domestication of desirable traits from wild soybeans, such as ...

To help achieve more precise control of gene therapy, engineers have designed a new control circuit that can keep gene expression levels within a target range. The method could be used to deliver ...

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 ...

Previously, research on controlling gene networks has been carried out based on a single stimulus-response of cells. More recently, studies have been proposed to precisely analyze complex gene ...

urning genes on and off is like flipping a light switch, controlling whether genes in a cell are active. When a gene is turned on, the production of proteins or other substances is promoted; when it's ...

Genes play a powerful role in shaping your health—you won’t believe how your DNA influences everything from ADHD to Parkinson’s disease. Here’s what groundbreaking research reveals about the ...

Inflammation has to fight pathogens fast—but it can't get out of control. Researchers at the German Cancer Research Center ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...
