In their landmark 1961 paper on the lac operon, Nobel laureates François Jacob and Jacques Monod speculated that RNA might control gene activity in bacteria through base-pairing interactions. But once ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...

A study reveals a novel gene regulation mechanism using RNA guides to activate genes, offering a versatile tool for synthetic biology, and potential biomedical applications.

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 ...
