A Synthetic Module and Method for Silencing Gene Expression by Targeting Specific Regions of the Chromosome

University of California System: University of California, San Francisco
posted on 12/15/2008

A system for targeting and tuning heterochromatin has been developed by UCSF investigators. This method allows for inducible and specific silencing of target regions of the chromosome. This is a control module that could be sold as a kit and used to control expression of multiple genes. Current data are in yeast but the technique is applicable to silencing systems in other organisms.
