Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

An additional level of genetic control is provided by gene switches that are located upstream of the promoter region. These genetic switches assist transcription factors in binding to the promoter region. This is true for any genetic products or byproducts of the metabolic pathways that are toxic to the host.
