How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

Messenger RNA carries genetic information from DNA in the highly protected nucleus out to the rest of the cell, where structures called ribosomes can build proteins according to the DNA blueprint.

This image illustrates the process of gene transcription within a cell. The DNA double helix unwinds to expose a specific sequence, allowing RNA polymerase to synthesize a complementary pre-mRNA ...

During transcription, the genetic information stored in a gene's DNA sequence is copied into a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA), which then carries the information out of the nucleus and into the ...

Visualization of the genome (green) and a single gene (magenta) in a human cell nucleus, with genomic motions mapped by arrows and an example of a gene trajectory highlighted as a colored curve. A ...

Proteins are essential biological molecules that perform a vast array of functions crucial for life, from catalyzing biochemical reactions and transporting molecules to providing structural support ...

Unlocking the potential of mRNA technology is helping revolutionize medicine and biotechnology. Solid-phase in vitro transcription enables scalability and automation, helping make it a valuable tool ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

Galit Meshulam-Simon is the associate director of Commercial Applications at Elegen. COVID-19 brought messenger RNA (mRNA) into the global spotlight, demonstrating its speed, flexibility, and efficacy ...
