Figure 4: Intermolecular cis activation increases rAAV-mediated reporter gene expression in muscle in vivo. Here we have described a new molecular approach to increase the utility of rAAV gene ...

Recent work in my laboratory has demonstrated that, during the first few days of embryogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana, the maternal allele of many genes plays a functionally more important role than ...

Types 1 and 2 diabetes appear to be caused by an interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Over the years, researchers have found an array of specific genes that are linked to ...

Approximately 20% of the genome codes for regulatory elements that play a crucial role in determining gene activation. Still, very little is known about where those codes are in the genome, what their ...

You may see a FaceTime or iMessage activation error like "iMessage waiting for activation" or "iMessage activation unsuccessful." If you get a FaceTime or iMessage ...

Gene editing is now reaching the mainstream, ushering in a new era of genetic manipulation. Traditionally, inserting or deleting entire genes, regulating their expression, and altering specific ...

The results suggest that many Y genes play a role in fertility and can compensate for each other if one gene is lost. This also means that some cases of infertility likely result from multiple ...

These changes occur rapidly and are significant in magnitude—several hundred genes can change within 10 to 15 minutes. Moreover, these changes appear to persist for at least an hour following ...
