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

Roots Analysis

Further, the transcription factors contain two molecular domains, the DNA binding domain and the activation domain. Moreover, some transcription factors contain additional domains, such as ligand binding domain in order to interact with chemical signals.

Epigenetic Editing with CRISPR Might Be Easier Than We Thought

XTalks

These modifications regulate gene expression without changing the sequence or structure of DNA. The CRISPR gene editing system consists of the Cas9 enzyme, which serves as molecular scissors to cleave double-stranded DNA, and a guide RNA template targeted to a specific genomic sequence, which allows for precise editing.

Delivering on the promise of gene editing

Drug Discovery World

Prime editing, while also employing a single strand nick, expands this scope to all 12 possible changes using a more complex prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA). Researchers need to better understand these natural genetic variations and be mindful of them when designing gene editing therapeutics or even research experiments. References.
