Fine-tuning metabolic gene expression to identify variants in yeast genes

Friday, August 7, 2020 - 07:20 in Biology & Nature

Scientists have developed a more nuanced library approach to tuning gene expression in metabolic pathways. Compared to the traditional way, which leverages an all-or-nothing approach to expression, scientists can now opt for various shades of gray. The ability to fine-tune the level of gene expression allowed researchers to identify variations of essential genes in metabolic networks that were missed using traditional approaches.
