Failure of a gene-reading quality-control mechanism called Integrator leaves cells littered with abnormal RNA strands that ...

How would you make transcription and translation work when you no longer have a nucleus? Bacteria have an interesting answer. Attenuation, or dampening, of the trp operon is made possible by the ...

Failure of a gene-reading quality-control mechanism called Integrator leaves cells littered with abnormal RNA strands that ...

Many diseases are caused by a missing or defective copy of a single gene. For decades, scientists have been working on gene ...

Aging cells with weakened gene regulation spuriously transcribe RNAs, but their impact on health and longevity still needs to be examined. Kamal is a freelance science journalist based in the UK with ...

This manuscript characterizes a mutated clone of RNA polymerase I in yeast, referred to as SuperPol, to understand the mechanisms of RNA polymerase I elongation and termination. The authors present ...

Exposure to air pollution–derived ultrafine particles alters gene transcription by epigenetic mechanisms, a new study shows.

To help achieve more precise control of gene therapy, engineers have designed a new control circuit that can keep gene expression levels within a target range. The method could be used to deliver ...

Transcripts of the gene present in the ironlimited community were also more abundant in iron-limited laboratory cultures of Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries, suggesting that this gene plays a role in ...
