Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...

Dialing up gene expression Synthetic gene circuits are engineered to include not only the gene of interest, but also a promoter region. At this site, transcription factors and other regulators can ...

The ability to control gene expression across a wide range is crucial for many fields, including bioengineering, disease detection, and environmental monitoring. Research led by Lingchong You, Ph.D., ...
