DNA sequences that regulate expression of the insulin gene are located within a region spanning ~400 bp that flank the transcription start site. This region, the insulin promoter, contains a number of ...

In a recent study posted to the preprint server Research Square* while under review for publication in Epigenetics & Chromatin, researchers develop and characterize a highly specific EpiEditing system ...

MeiraGTx is cashing in on a gene therapy that restored vision to 11 children who were born legally blind, licensing the ...

A recent study in genetic control elements revealed around 11,000 gene regulators active in every cell type, also known as housekeeping cis-regulatory elements (HK-CREs). These elements are vital in ...

Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is among the world’s most destructive plant viruses, threatening global tomato yield and quality. Through fine mapping and genetic validation, researchers identified a ...

An international team of scientists has made a significant breakthrough in understanding how gene expression is regulated ...

Yeast is a single cell eukaryotic organism, that incites in this Irish scientist an intense memory of the smell of brewing Guinness, wafting down the River Liffey on a drizzly Dublin day as I sit at ...

Sorghum bicolor is a deep-rooted, heat- and drought-tolerant crop that thrives on marginal lands and is increasingly valued ...

The numbers of the principal regulatory elements present in insulin promoters are listed. Given the complexity and uncertainty of predicting the transcriptional outcome of mutations within regulatory ...
