The switches remain on or remain off, and that gives the cells their identity. The activity of genes was being controlled by a switch--the attachment of a simple chemical which dictated whether the gene was switched on or off. Whether those genes are turned on or off is called ...

Peering deep within the cells of fruit flies, developmental biologists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia may have discovered a new way that genes are turned on and off during development. If they're right, and the same processes are at work in higher or...
“The advantage of doing this with light is we can quickly and easily control when the gene gets turned on or off and the level to which it is activated by varying the light’s intensity. We can also target where the gene gets turned on by shining the light in specific patterns, for ...
Engineered microbes are increasingly being used to enable the sustainable and clean production of chemicals, medicines, and much more. To make this possible, bioengineers must control when specific sets of genes are turned on and off to allow for careful regulation of the biochemical pro...
[Transcription regulation--how are genes turned on and off?] During the last 20 years much has been learned about regulation of gene activity, or transcription. Regulations are more complex in higher organisms, such ... PR Nj?Lstad - 《Tidsskrift for Den Norske Lgeforening Tidsskrift for ...
To get around this roadblock, the team turned to smaller proteins known as nanobodies. The nanobodies act like tiny hooks that snare the needed effectors that are already within the cell. The right nanobody will recruit the right effector for the switching job.“The cells already have these ...

Every time you play a game of basketball, make a cup of coffee or flick on a light switch, you are turning on genes in your brain. These same genes typically are turned off when the activity ceases - but when that doesn't happen, damaging consequences can occur. ...
