The project started as undergraduate research supervised by the study’s co-corresponding author, Naoki Masuda, professor in the Department of Mathematics. That initial work carried out a somewhat ...

Our genome contains thousands of genes, each of which has to be turned on and off at precisely the right times, or serious dysfunction in our bodies can result. If scientists could learn how to ...

A biological switch that reliably turns protein expression on at will has been invented. The switch enables control of genome editing tools that might one day regulate cascades of desired genetic ...

Differences in the physiology and function of cells across our body are determined by gene expression and subsequent protein production. A new study by scientists at the University of Buffalo has ...

Researchers at Northwestern University say they have developed a novel technique that dramatically boosts gene expression. According to Julius Lucks, Ph.D., an associate professor of chemical and ...

Imagine being able to control genetic expression by flipping a light switch. Researchers are using light-activated molecules to turn gene expression on and off. Their method enables greater precision ...

The zebrafish is a highly promising model system for vertebrate genetics study, but the temporal control of gene expression has remained underdeveloped. A new chemical genetic system using a ...
