Different mechanisms have been proposed to explain the specificity of enhancer-promoter interactions, including promoter competition and insulator DNA elements. In the 9 July Proceedings of the ...

A newly discovered promoter element "start" points to a shared regulatory syntax for controlling transcription initiation in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

Kobe University bioengineers describe three design principles for efficient and reliably controllable yeast promoters, the genetic switches that regulate the artificially introduced genes necessary ...

A research group at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research says it has put to rest the notion that a gene promoter is only a promoter. They report, in the current issue of eLife Sciences, that ...

This study is led by Dr. Wen-Bing Yin (Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences). Natural products (NPs) are low-molecular-weight compounds derived from secondary metabolic pathways, ...
