Promoter sequences are DNA sequences that define where transcription of a gene by RNA polymerase begins. Promoter sequences are typically located directly upstream or at the 5' end of the ...

The genetic code is universal and contains the instructions for all life on Earth. But the diversity of life relies on more than just the genetic code itself — it also relies on the variety of ...

Engineers and biologists at Dartmouth College have found that, just like word order affects meaning in a sentence, the ...

Certain DNA sequences can form structures other than the canonical double helix. These alternative DNA conformations—referred ...

But this magnifier doesn't enlarge the view of DNA bases. Rather, it makes billions of identical copies of a small sequence of DNA -- enough copies to allow a machine to detect marked bases within ...

with the first referring to the generally recognized E1 and E2 boxes and the second number representing all CANNTG sequences up to position –400 or the 5' limit of available promoter sequence.

In this new study published in Communications Biology, the researchers succeeded in synthesizing a Cre-loxP integrated vector by placing a short DNA sequence called TAx9 before the promoter region ...

A new set of genes that contribute to Parkinson’s disease risk has been identified.
