An operon is a cluster of genes that are transcribed together into a single mRNA molecule. This allows the cell to regulate the expression of multiple genes involved in a specific pathway ...

Before diving into the inducibility versus repressibility debate, it's essential to understand the components and function of the lac operon. The lac operon consists of: However, the repression is not ...

In 1858 William H. Seward minted a round, shiny phrase. He described the difference between Northern wage labor and Southern slave labor as an “irrepressible conflict.” Later, Seward’s friends ...

Highly repetitive regions of junk DNA may be the key to a newly discovered mechanism for gene regulation. The discovery during the Human Genome Project in the early 2000s that we humans have only ...

The split-Gal4 system allows Drosophila researchers to drive transgene expression with extraordinary cell type specificity. However, the existing split-Gal4 system cannot be controlled temporally, and ...

This important study shows that small proteins encoded by randomized DNA sequences can be biologically active in bacteria, suggesting an evolutionary pathway for the creation of new biological ...
