“It was probably in about 2015 that we started working on the idea of more of a designer gene repression loop,” said Nicole ... dimer repression mechanism against new regions of DNA in bacteria and ...

Analysing the gene activity of every single bacterial cell in a colony? A new technique of single-cell transcriptomics developed in W rzburg can do this much more efficiently than other methods: It ...

They have multiple, larger chromosomes, multiple origins of replication on each chromosome, and some regions of the DNA are more tightly packaged than others, so this form of gene regulation might be ...

providing unprecedented insight into the relationship between gene regulation and mutation rates. The findings could have ...

Researchers led by Professor Erik van Nimwegen at the Biozentrum, University of Basel, have discovered a new mechanism in ...

The second project focuses on mechanisms of gene regulation in bacteria, particularly Escherichia coli, that involve reiterative transcription and/or transcription start site switching. Reiterative ...

How do bacteria ... changes in gene expression. In the case of the trp operon, the ligand tryptophan is required for the repressor to work (repressible negative regulation). But other operons ...

Comb jellies "could repurpose [their] genetic toolkit in different ways like a Swiss knife," said the researchers.
