Evolution is traditionally associated with a process of increasing complexity and gaining new genes. However, the explosion of the genomic era shows that gene loss and simplification is a much more ...

Some of these “enhancers” regulatory sequences function similarly to the dimmer switches that control the lighting in the living room. In fact, when and where a specific gene is needed ...

New study by Chiba University, Japan in collaboration with Karolinska Institutet, Sweden, uncovers novel enhancer-promoter interactions that regulate gene expression during neuronal differentiation ...

Selective breeding is not considered a form of genetic engineering. Quantifying the function of enhancer sequences is crucial for systems biology. Here, the authors introduce an AI-added strategy ...

Enhancer Biology lab studies gene regulation and genome architecture controlled by transcription factors using genome-wide functional genomics methods. Our aim is to understand enhancer malfunction ...

However, these same technologies could also take reprogenetics beyond disease prevention into the realm of genetic enhancement, where such matters as a child's eye or skin color, height ...

We will eventually move from embryo selection and disease prevention to gene alteration and trait enhancement.
