Could yeast and humans be any more different? Going by looks alone, probably not. But peering into our genomes reveals ...
RNA Polymerase (shown in blue) moves across a template strand of DNA (shown in purple) and transcribes it into RNA (shown in red). But DNA damage blocks the RNA polymerase, causing it to stall and ...
A team of physicists working at the intersection of theory and experiment are shedding new light on the 'teamwork' of molecular motors -- called RNA polymerases (RNAPs) -- that mediate DNA ...
There are only about 20,000 different genes in the human genome, yet our bodies are filled with an incredible diversity of cell types performing innumerable functions. The key to that diversity in ...
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CAMP4 Therapeutics, a biotechnology company harnessing the power of regulatory RNA to restore healthy gene expression, announced research published by the lab of ...
Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message ...
In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double helix—Crick laid out what he called the “central dogma” of molecular ...
Early in the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, it was clear that quick and accurate diagnostic techniques were required to deal with emerging infections and offset the negative impacts of ...
