Gene Switch: A Novel Platform for Switching Genes On and Off

Roots Analysis

Mechanism of Gene Switch During the transcription process, the promoter region, which is located near the upstream end of each gene, binds to transcription factor, which is a specific type of protein. An additional level of genetic control is provided by gene switches that are located upstream of the promoter region.
