Two particular repressor genes in a family of regulatory genes are vital for controlling cell proliferation during development of the placenta, according to a new study by researchers with the ...

New results explain how specific repressor proteins -- which researchers have named Hairy and Knirps -- slow genes during development and how the process is comparable to slowing down a car.

A global study uncovers the hidden role of viruses in driving bacterial evolution and highlights a surprising bacterial gene that helps fight back.

The human genome has over 400 genes for KRAB zinc finger proteins, and about 170 of them have emerged since primates diverged from other mammals. According to Salama, her team’s findings support the ...

Moreover, this treatment modifies a globin repressor gene, which indeed causes reactivation of fetal globin, but may well have effects on other genes as well, with unknown consequences for the patient ...

Using genome editing in tomatoes and Arabidopsis, researchers created over 70 mutant plants. They explored the regulatory regions up- and downstream of CLV3 to determine the effects of these ...
