This important study demonstrates the potential of synthetic gene circuits to detect and target aberrant RAS activity in cancer cell lines. The circuit design is novel and the evidence supporting the ...

The SYNGAP1 gene, which supports the production of a protein called SynGAP (Synaptic Ras GTPase-Activating Protein), is known ...

If you're a brain cell, for instance, you wouldn't want the genes encoding hemoglobin proteins to be transcribed. This precise transcribing of genes is handled by proteins known as transcription ...

A critical finding regarding the prevalence of alternative splicing was that a majority of human genes produce a wide variety of messenger RNAs (mRNA) that in turn encode distinct proteins ...
