In addition, regulatory sites on prokaryotic DNA are typically located close to transcription promoter sites — and this plays an important part in gene expression. For an example of how this ...

Promoter sequences are DNA sequences that define where transcription of a gene by RNA polymerase begins. Promoter sequences are typically located directly upstream or at the 5' end of the ...

In a new study published in Cell Reports, researchers at the University of Freiburg reveal how a disordered protein segment ...

To help achieve more precise control of gene therapy, engineers have designed a new control circuit that can keep gene expression levels within a target range. The method could be used to deliver ...

The availability of insulin genes from a wider range of species will ... and appreciation of the subtle and sophisticated insulin promoter.

Synthetic plasmids often exhibit unpredictable gene expression behaviors that have not been completely understood. Intra-genetic elements like promoters and ribosomal binding sites have long been ...

New analyses find that divergent transcription, in which one promoter directs the expression of two adjacent genes oriented in opposite directions, is conserved across all domains of life. Jack is a ...

Early fruit ripening is a valuable trait for grape cultivation, but the underlying epigenetic mechanisms have remained elusive.

When introducing genes into yeast to make it produce drugs ... a piece of DNA called a "promoter," that tells the cells to ...

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 ...
