Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are specialized proteins that are generated by the immune system to identify and ...

Some sequences in the genome cause genes to be switched on or off. Until now, each of these gene switches, or so-called enhancers, was thought to have its own place on the DNA. Different enhancers are ...

Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland, Aalto University and the University of Oulu have developed a new computational method for exploring DNA sequence patterns. The method, called KMAP, ...

The EU has relaxed its rules on gene-editing. Now, only some gene-edited crops are regulated by the stringent GMO directive.

Regulation refers to the laws, policies, licenses and guidelines that govern how people and organizations can use gene technology, where penalties apply if these rules are not followed. There is ...

Few areas of the body face more daily stress and potential damage than the stomach, which must manage everything we swallow.

While some scientists argue that agricultural gene editing regulations are overly restrictive, a new paper from the University of Adelaide emphasises the importance of clear regulations to ensure new ...
