Gut microbes control liver genes by flipping DNA switches

Sanatate

Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Singapore Jun 15 2026 A local research study led by scientists from the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) has uncovered how the gut microbiome can influence gene activity in the liver by acting on short stretches of regulatory DNA that function like molecular "switches". By testing the activity of more than 100,000 human DNA switches linked to liver biology and comparing results from both in vitro and in vivo approaches, the
