Switches Genes On And Off at Karen Cutright blog

Switches Genes On And Off. Genes are regulated through processes like transcription, where a protein called the transcription factor can either hide or reveal gene directions, effectively turning genes off or on. These regions are known as promoters and enhancers. A switch to turn genes on/off on cue. Epigenetics studies how environmental and lifestyle factors can change gene behavior without altering genetic makeup. A new crispr tool allows scientists to silence, or turn off, most genes in the human genome — and then turn them back on again. Genes have specific regulatory regions that act as on and off switches. By following the trail of evolution, devices are being found within dna—genetic “switches”—that do not encode any proteins but that regulate when and where genes are. Yen and his colleagues developed a system that turns genes on to different levels on cue using. One of the ways by which a cell turns off specific genes is by the reversible addition to the dna of a minuscule chemical. These modifications occur through different epigenetic mechanisms that act as biological switches, turning genes off and on.
