Engineers have created DIAL, a modular system that precisely sets and edits protein levels in synthetic gene circuits. By ...

Molecular biologists have long believed that the beginning of a gene launched the process of transcription—the process by ...

Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

Intrinsically disordered regions in transcription factors enhance both target binding probability and search efficiency.

What scientists once dismissed as junk DNA may actually be some of the most powerful code in our genome. A new international study reveals that ancient viral DNA buried in our genes plays an active ...

Most people recognize Alzheimer's from its devastating symptoms such as memory loss, while new drugs target pathological aspects of disease manifestations, such as plaques of amyloid proteins. Now a ...
