If DNA is a book, then how is it read? Learn more about the DNA transcription process, where DNA is converted to RNA, a more portable set of instructions for the cell. The process of transcription ...

How would you make transcription and translation work when ... of RNA polymerase can lead to dissolution of the RNA polymerase/DNA complex (Gusarov & Nudler, 1999; Yarnell & Roberts, 1999) and ...

The unexpected discovery may provide scientists with new insights into how cancer develops — and how to combat it.

Researchers discovered peptides that permanently block a key cancer protein once thought untreatable, using a new screening ...

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

A team of researchers at Karolinska Institutet has developed a novel tool for genetic research. The study, published in ...

Ring-shaped extrachromosomal DNA is implicated in many cancers. Rachel Brazil talks to the scientists trying to uncover their ...

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA).

This open configuration allows viral gene transcription, which leads to a high level of viral replication. Conversely, in the absence of HBx, host restriction factors such as HDAC1, PRMT1, and SIRT3 ...

A research team led by Dr. Li Yunhai from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of ...

In this study, we found PoMbp1 which contains an APSES domain highly can positively regulate the growth and development of P. ostreatus. In-depth research showed that PoMbp1 can promote the expression ...

Using an unbiased approach, this important study discovered a role of Ezh2 in the differentiation of granule neuron precursors, the cell of origin for Shh group of medulloblastoma. Furthermore, the ...
