10. MIT Team finds new mechanism of gene control
    07-12-2007 · Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
    Biologists have long thought that a simple on/off switch controls most genes in human cells. Flip the switch and a cell starts or stops producing a particular protein. But new evidence suggests that our genes are more ready for action than previously thought.
