Just like a doctor adjusts the dose of a medication to the patient's needs, the expression of therapeutic genes, those modified in a person to treat or cure a disease via gene therapy, also needs to ...

It often involves the introduction of genetic material into a person’s cells to replace a defective or missing gene. Although early attempts at gene therapy have been effective in achieving the ...

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 ...

This study presents SynaptoGen, a differentiable extension of connectome models that links gene expression, protein-protein interaction probabilities, synaptic multiplicity, and synaptic weights, and ...

The first steps following gene discovery have become somewhat routine: completing sequencing of the gene, matching the sequence to a known protein pattern (if possible), deciphering gene expression ...

If stretched out, human DNA would be about 2 meters long. For this long strand to fit inside the cell nucleus, which is about 0.01 mm in size, it must be tightly folded. DNA wraps around proteins call ...

A synthetic PAS (red) is inserted in the 5′ UTR of a transgene. Without ligand, the cleavage destroys the coding region of the mRNA, therefore, losing transgene expression. Ligand binding to the ...
