Research Team Wins Funds To Unravel A DNA Mystery
An international research team headed by two University of Adelaide researchers has been awarded a US$900,000 grant to help unravel the phenomenon of “DNA looping”. DNA looping is responsible for controlling the expression of genes in cells. It is believed to play a key role in a number of diseases, including many cancers. The looping occurs due to the binding of proteins to different regions of the DNA.
