Binary Neural Control of Gene Expression – A novel mechanism of gene expression (Part 1 of 3)
Sunday, February 21st, 2010The mechanism determining the spatio-temporal patterns of expression of non-housekeeping genes, i.e. restriction of their expression at specific times and sites while they are suppressed in cells in all the rest of the body is one of the enigmas of modern biology. This spatio-temporal restriction of expression of genes is so vital that no organism would exist without it. Nevertheless most biologists neglect/ignore the issue as being self-evident. (more…)
