Modulating cell-free transcription electrolytically with switchable DNA triplexes

This paper introduces EDGE, an electrochemical method to modulate gene expression using DNA triplexes, showing that triplexes inhibit gene expression in cell-free systems.

Incompatibility of DFHBI based fluorescent RNA aptamers with particular commercial cell-free expression systems

The paper shows that certain DFHBI-based fluorescent RNA aptamers fail to produce fluorescence in the Expressway cell-free system despite successful transcription.
