Gene syntax also affects the behavior of genetic circuits, and contributes to unpredictable outcomes in genetic networks.

Avoid fusions to the GFP fragments at the site of protein-protein interaction and consider optimizing the spacer length between the fusions and GFP fragments, if necessary. In the absence of ...

The data convincingly show that the transcription factor Sp1 regulates ephrin-mediated axon guidance in the spinal cord. Although the authors show that Sp1 and its co-activators p300 and CBP are ...

Researchers suggest the bacteria could be designed to detect pollution or nutrients, acting as sensors to help farmers ...

Plants store carbon in two primary forms: starch and triacylglycerols (TAGs). Starch is mainly stored in chloroplasts in leaves, where it serves as a readily available energy source, while TAGs are ...

Engineers have made bacteria to produce hyperspectral signals that can be detected as far as 90 meters away. Their work could lead to the development of bacterial sensors for agricultural and other ...

Plants store carbon in two primary forms: starch and triacylglycerols (TAGs). Starch is mainly stored in chloroplasts in ...

Beneath the sparkling blue waves of the Pacific lies a hidden world teeming with biodiversity, wonder, and weirdness. At Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, visitors ...

Distribution of Ranvier nodes along myelinated axons is a critical determinant of conduction velocity, significantly influencing spike arrival timing and hence neural circuit function. The patterns of ...

After a helicopter crashed into the Hudson River in New York, rescue boats are seen heading to the site. Documentary filmmaker Jeremy Corbell spoke with NBC News' Gadi Schwartz about a new video of an ...
