Du, Wantong | The role of mRNA decay in a genetic switch | Genes can be switched on or off by regulatory proteins. For example, two genes may each synthesize a protein that downregulates the other gene, creating a repressor- repressor switch that has two stable steady states: one being when the first gene is "on" and the second gene is repressed, and the ot... | Messenger RNA - Research; Genetic regulation - Research; Genetic switch; Gene repression; Neural circuitry | 2016-04 |
