CRISPR-Cas9 has been widely adapted for use in transcriptional modulation and epigenetic engineering with deactivated Cas9 (dCas9) systems to enable CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) and CRISPR activation ...
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 ...
The research field of 'cellular IRESes' lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable methods for the clear characterization of these starting points for the ribosome-mediated ...
Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...
Investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine have developed a versatile and non-toxic technology for controlling the activity of ...
An innovative CRISPR-Cas12f-based activator system may hold significant potential in the future of gene therapy and biological research, suggest researchers of a new study. The study highlights the ...
