All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed a vector that integrates the Cre enzyme gene with the specific DNA ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The stochasticity of gene expression presents significant challenges to the modeling of genetic networks. A two-state model describing ...

Since the bacterial-origin CRISPR-Cas system rose to popularity as a genome editing tool, scientists have wondered whether other genome editors exist in nature. Now, two independent research teams ...

Transcription factors that act throughout the genome can arise from mashups of transposable elements inserted into established genes. Roughly 500 million years ago, something that would forever change ...

A research team from the Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague has discovered Solarion arienae, an extremely rare ...

Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, occur worldwide in many varieties, including in single-cell form and in chains called filaments. While these tiny life forms can strongly influence many ...

DNA passed to and from all kinds of organisms, even across kingdoms, has helped shape the tree of life, to a large and undisputed degree in microbes and also unexpectedly in multicellular fungi, ...

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 ...
