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 ...

Figure 1: Confocal imaging of LLC-PK-1 cells in mitosis. To generate the GFP fusion protein, insert the corresponding cDNA into the multiple cloning site of a pEGFP or other appropriate ...

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 ...

A team of researchers led by Dr. KIM V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of ...

A study from Rutgers University presents a new method for tracking polycystin proteins in polycystic kidney disease (PKD).

For patients with polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a common genetic disorder that ravages the waste-removing organ with cysts ...
