Even fairly deep sequencing of randomly selected cDNA clones fails to elucidate the structures of the 20–40% of genes in a typical eukaryotic genome that are expressed only at low levels or ...

Christie is a seasoned science journalist and cell and molecular biology PhD; her debut book Venomous: How Earth’s Deadliest Creatures Mastered Biochemistry, received widespread acclaim. She was a ...

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is conducting the Class 12 board exams for the 2025 academic year. The ...

In contrast, in eukaryotic genes, the primary RNA transcript, known as pre-mRNA, undergoes a process called splicing. During splicing, introns are excised, and exons are joined together to form a ...

But the trading of DNA among complex eukaryotic genomes is a whole other matter, and something “not [thought] possible until fifteen, twenty years ago,” says Antonis Rokas, an evolutionary biologist ...

Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments ...

Researchers from Northwestern University have stumbled upon a previously unobserved function of a protein found in the cell ...

Genetic switches could play a role in creating complex eukaryotic genetic circuits for programmed cell-free systems or artificial cells.

Only recently has the ribosome—one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms—been recognized as an active ...
