  2. Activator (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activator_(genetics)

    A transcriptional activator is a protein (transcription factor) that increases transcription of a gene or set of genes. [1] Activators are considered to have positive control over gene expression, as they function to promote gene transcription and, in some cases, are required for the transcription of genes to occur.

  3. Coactivator (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coactivator_(genetics)

    The activator bound coactivator recruits RNA polymerase and other transcription machinery that then begins transcribing the target gene. A coactivator is a type of transcriptional coregulator that binds to an activator (a transcription factor ) to increase the rate of transcription of a gene or set of genes. [ 1 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pparg_coactivator_1_alpha

    The effect of β-aminoisobutyric acid in white fat includes the activation of thermogenic genes that prompt the browning of white adipose tissue and the consequent increase of background metabolism. Hence, the β-aminoisobutyric acid could act as a messenger molecule of PGC-1α and explain the effects of PGC-1α increase in other tissues such ...

  5. CRISPR activation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR_activation

    The dCas9 activation system allows a desired gene or multiple genes in the same cell to be expressed. It is possible to study genes involved in a certain process using a genome wide screen that involves activating expression of genes. Examining which sgRNAs yield a phenotype suggests which genes are involved in a specific pathway.

  6. Ac/Ds transposable controlling elements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ac/Ds_transposable...

    The Ac Activator element is autonomous, whereas the Ds Dissociation element requires an Activator element to transpose. [1] Ac was initially discovered as enabling a Ds element to break chromosomes. Both Ac and Ds can also insert into genes, causing mutants that may revert to normal on excision of the element. [2]

    The U.S. Surgeon General's warning of an increased risk of cancer from drinking alcohol may end up resonating most with younger Americans - who in recent years were already turning to mocktails ...

  8. Transcription activator-like effector nuclease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcription_activator...

    Transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) can be engineered to bind to practically any desired DNA sequence, so when combined with a nuclease, DNA can be cut at specific locations. [1] The restriction enzymes can be introduced into cells, for use in gene editing or for genome editing in situ , a technique known as genome editing with ...
