How Does DNA Template Length Influence Gene Expression in Cell Free Systems?

3D sketch of coupled transcription/translation in a cell free system. A recent paper looks at the effect of DNA Template Length  on gene expression.

Cell-free gene expression systems are a staple tool for the researcher seeking to understand the regulation of transcription and translation. Many factors can affect the efficiency of cell-free gene expression including vector sequence, reaction components and the template DNA concentration. One factor that has not been extensively studied is how DNA template length influences gene expression.
