New research sheds light on how genes turn on and off
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Using CRISPR techniques, the researchers removed parts of the yeast transcription machinery to systematically examine their role in regulating genes. Yeast and humans have mostly the same molecular machinery to regulate their genes, so yeast provides an excellent model for understanding gene

Study reveals role of genomic changes in specific brain cells in Alzheimer
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 4 (ANI): A large study has looked at DNA methylation in Alzheimer's disease. DNA methylation is the process by which the activity of genes is regulated, acting a bit like a dimmer-switch to turn genes on or off. Increasingly, this process is thought to have a key rol
