This helps us understand the complex genetic networks regulating metabolism and development, where many genes work together and each has multiple functions. (newscientist.com)
Humans and mice share 99 percent of their genes, and the two species form genetic networks that are remarkably similar. (discovermagazine.com)
In the first article, the researchers from the InBio — Experimental and computational methods for modelling cellular processes unit (Pasteur Institute / Inria) and from two groups at IST Austria, the Systems and Synthetic Biology of Genetic Networks group, headed by C?lin C. Guet, and the Biophysics and Neuroscience group, headed by Gašper Tka?ik, have used optogenetics to activate the expression of a gene by exposing cells to light. (sciencedaily.com)
