If our genes are so similar, what really makes a eukaryote different from a prokaryote, or a human from E. coli? The answer lies in the difference in gene expression and regulation used. Regulation of ...

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) are phylogenetically and morphologically diverse prokaryotes that share an ancestral capability of producing intracellular magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) or/and greigite (Fe 3 S 4) ...

Researchers turned programmable proteins into a novel genetic tool, potentially enabling tighter control of gene expression. LacI is a tetrameric protein, using two dimers to bind two specific, ...
