A research team has developed a simple, efficient in situ RT-PCR method that precisely detects gene expression in specific cell types of tea plant ...

Just like a doctor adjusts the dose of a medication to the patient's needs, the expression of therapeutic genes, those modified in a person to treat or cure a disease via gene therapy, also needs to ...

In gene therapy, a gene (a piece of DNA) is introduced into cells. This process uses a virus that has been stripped of its disease-causing properties—referred to as a viral vector—as the delivery ...

The first steps following gene discovery have become somewhat routine: completing sequencing of the gene, matching the sequence to a known protein pattern (if possible), deciphering gene expression ...
