    • Optogenetic Control of Gene Expression in Drosophila 

      Chan, Yick-Bun; Alekseyenko, Olga V.; Kravitz, Edward A. (Public Library of Science, 2015)
      To study the molecular mechanism of complex biological systems, it is important to be able to artificially manipulate gene expression in desired target sites with high precision. Based on the light dependent binding of ...
