June 18, 2021 —Researchers discovered that the enzyme RNA polymerase II recognizes and transcribes artificially added base pairs in genetic code, a new insight that could help advance the development of new ...
Jan. 27, 2022 —Researchers show how a DNA-binding protein can search the entire genome for its target sequence without getting held up on the way. The result contradicts our current understanding of gene regulation ...
Nov. 14, 2022 —The better we understand cellular processes such as RNA regulation, the better molecular therapies can be developed. Until now, it has been especially difficult to track the regulation of non-coding ...
Aug. 31, 2021 —In all eukaryotic organisms, genetic material is stored in the cell nucleus in the form of DNA. In order to be used, this DNA is first transcribed into messenger RNA in the cell cytoplasm, then ...
Sep. 29, 2021 —Cells working with an expanded genetic code could make more diverse medicines. A new study shows scientists are within striking ...
June 29, 2022 —Researchers explain the importance of identifying and understanding how differences between tissues and cells alter gene expression without changing the underlying genetic ...
June 8, 2022 —Occasionally, single-letter misspellings in the genetic code, known as point mutations, occur. Point mutations that alter the resulting protein sequences are called nonsynonymous mutations, while ...
Aug. 24, 2020 —Researchers have identified a fault in the RNA quality control system of cells that leads to the haywire production of toxic proteins in frontotemporal lobar degeneration and amyotrophic lateral ...
Aug. 24, 2022 —Thousands of short RNA sequences that code for microproteins and peptides have been identified, opening new avenues for disease research and drug ...
Sep. 19, 2022 —If everything is to run smoothly in living cells, the genetic information must be correct. But unfortunately, errors in the DNA accumulate over time due to mutations. Land plants have developed a ...
