How to correctly select active genes

Human genetic material contains more than 20,000 different genes

Installation and startup in seconds

For decades, cell and molecular biologists have been studying how transcription factories can be built and started operating in a matter of seconds

Researchers from the KIT Institute of Biological and Chemical Systems (IBCS), the Institute of Zoology (ZOO), the Institute of Applied Physics (APH) and the Institute of Nanotechnology (INT) collaborated with researchers from Erlangen FAU and MPZPM and the University of Illinois.

The latest optical microscope combined with computer simulation

The researchers pointed out in their paper that the process of condensation to form a transcription factory is similar to steam glass or windows

Recently, the new understanding of concentrated liquid in living cells has provided a brand new method for the treatment of cancer and neurological diseases
