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 ...

Could a gene regulatory network in gut microbes have evolved its elaborate and tightly regulated molecular machinery only to pump out antibiotics indiscriminately? Researchers from the Institute of ...

Although deregulated homeobox gene expression was originally associated ... So, future studies aimed at defining the selective functional outcomes of particular homeobox genes and specific tumour ...

To determine the underlying causes of neuronal vulnerability at the earliest stages of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a research ...

Researchers have developed 'tomoseqr' -- a new software tool that enables easy estimation of the three-dimensional (3D) spatial distribution of gene expression. Tomoseqr is free to use and has been ...

Gene therapy is becoming a reality for the treatment ... allowing single-molecule detection of both the episomal vector DNA, and transgene mRNA expression. The second is RNAscope Plus smRNA ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed a vector that integrates the Cre enzyme gene with the specific DNA sequence loxP, which is its target. This vector allows the creation of ...
