Peer pressure often evokes unexpected behavior, and protein partners might do the same. The Methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) has long been considered a transcriptional repressor, given its ...

CRISPR interference (CRISPRi) is a novel method for specific gene knockdown. It's CRISPR, without the cut. The Horizon CRISPRi system uses a deactivated Cas9 nuclease (dCas9) fused to our proprietary ...

Researchers have developed two types of programmable repressor elements that can switch off the production of an output protein in synthetic biology circuits by up to 300-fold in response to almost ...

As sessile organisms, plants have to continually adapt their growth and architecture to the ever-changing environment. To do so, plants have evolved distinct molecular mechanisms to sense and respond ...
