One route is to control cell behavior by modulating gene expression using conditional promoters.
miRNAs (microRNAs or miRs) are small RNA molecules modulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an essential role in modulating gene expression levels in organisms (Carthew & Sontheimer 2009; Chen 2009; Jones-Rhoades et al. 2006; Voinnet 2009).
Having sketched out the role played by miniature RNA molecules in modulating gene expression, this year biologists dove into the details.
In this study, the effect of modulating gene expression more broadly by overexpression of sigma factor genes on carotenoid production by C. glutamicum was characterized.
Sustained gene delivery could be particularly necessary in modulating gene expression in healing intrasynovial tendons and may be a promising approach for preventing adhesions.
Several DNA- or mRNA-based sequence motifs apparently play a decisive role in modulating gene expression.
SRF could thus play a central role in modulating gene expression to adapt muscle contractility to physiological demands.
Epigenetics encompasses all inheritable changes capable of modulating gene expression that are not encoded by the DNA sequence itself.
Thus, SIRT6 clearly plays a role in modulating gene expression.
