Tatsuya Nobori, Salk Institute for Biological Studies To save time and study dozens of genes at once, Nobori developed a method called plant hybridization-based targeted observation of gene expression ...

Although the contraption sounds unusual, it relies on combining two well-known technologies: optogenetics, which uses light-sensitive proteins to control gene expression, and an EEG-based ...

As these examples illustrate, there are many specific instances of environmental influences on gene expression. However, it is important to keep in mind that there is a very complex interaction ...
