Abstract:Changes in gene expression play a central role in determining the physiological activities of cells. To understand the dynamics of gene expression several techniques have been developed recently but their applicability have been limited by factors like choice of reporter and target selection. We have developed an aptamer‐based imaging system to detect changes in promoter activity in living cells and in real time. In this technology we have cloned and expressed multiple copies of aptamers in tandem (viz. tobram… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
