The IDR in TAF2 steers the protein away from active gene promoters, where it participates in transcription initiation, to nuclear speckles — liquid-like compartments that concentrate factors for RNA ...

Ribosomes are the cell's protein factories, which read the genetic code and assemble the proteins that every organism needs ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such structure, the G-quadruplex (G4), looks like a knot. These knots can play ...

Jonathan Henninger, an assistant professor of biological sciences, is part of a growing movement in the life sciences exploring how ribonucleic acid, known as RNA, can be harnessed to develop ...

A group of Australian scientists has uncovered a new way to fight some of the toughest cancers by targeting an overlooked cellular process called minor splicing. This tiny but vital mechanism turns ...
