Scientists at IOCB Prague are uncovering new details of gene transcription. They have identified a previously unknown ...
Scientists have found a new process that happens when an active gene is transcribed from DNA into messenger RNA.. | Cell And ...
DNA is often described as the instruction manual for building the fundamental components of life. Proteins are helpers that ...
Life's instructions are written in DNA, but it is the enzyme RNA polymerase II (Pol II) that reads the script, transcribing RNA in eukaryotic cells and eventually giving rise to proteins. Scientists ...
Every living cell must interpret its genetic code - a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions. A new study by researchers from the Center for Theoretical Biological ...
The study, authored by Tripti Midha, Anatoly Kolomeisky and Oleg Igoshin and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Every living cell must interpret its genetic code — a ...
Initiation of DNA synthesis: a general model from studies with prokaryotes -- Escherichia coli oriC -- Lambda phage origin: a familiar refrain -- Regulatory transcription factors and the initiation of ...
DNA, though tightly packed in the nucleus, is constantly threatened by damage from metabolism and external stressors. One particularly severe form of DNA damage is the so-called DNA–protein crosslinks ...
We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of ...
