The project started as undergraduate research supervised by the study’s co-corresponding author, Naoki Masuda, professor in the Department of Mathematics. That initial work carried out a somewhat ...

The only resource of immunoglobulin (Ig) molecules has traditionally been believed to be from B lymphocytes. In humans, all cells include germ line (GL) Ig genes, which comprise several V, D, J, and C ...

Researchers at Northwestern University say they have developed a novel technique that dramatically boosts gene expression. According to Julius Lucks, Ph.D., an associate professor of chemical and ...

A biological switch that reliably turns protein expression on at will has been invented. The switch enables control of genome editing tools that might one day regulate cascades of desired genetic ...

Scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) have discovered a DNA-based “dimmer switch” that regulates the activity of a critical developmental gene, Cdx2. This work could pave the way ...
