Tracking genes’ remote controls

( European Molecular Biology Laboratory ) Inside each cell’s nucleus, genetic sequences known as enhancers act like remote controls, switching genes on and off. Scientists at EMBL Heidelberg can now see — and predict — exactly when each remote control is itself activated, in a real embryo. Continue reading →

Evolution of complexity recreated using ‘molecular time travel’

( University of Chicago Medical Center ) In a study in Nature, a team of scientists demonstrate how just a few small, high-probability mutations increased the complexity of a molecular machine more than 800 million years ago. By biochemically resurrecting ancient genes and testing their functions in modern organisms, the researchers showed that a new component was incorporated into the machine … Continue reading →
