In the study of bacteria, a longstanding dogma has held that two molecular machines—RNA polymerase, which leads the way in transcribing DNA into RNA, and ribosomes, which bring up the rear translating ...

Much of the genome is made up of repetitive DNA sequences that trace back to ancient mobile elements, many of which have lost ...

How did eukaryotic organisms become so much more complex than prokaryotic ones, without a whole lot more genes? The answer lies in transcription factors. Experiments have shown that TFs can bind ...

Topics range from mechanisms of gene expression to new computational methods for the humanities / Approximately €27 million in funding for the first ...

Synonymous DNA substitutions have often been viewed as quiet changes because they do not alter the amino acid sequence of a ...

In cancer research, one person's junk is increasingly becoming another person's treasure. Scientists have now uncovered new evidence showing how recently evolved "junk DNA" genetic elements can become ...

Scientists built a synthetic cell that combines more lifelike properties than ever before — proof of concept that it’s possible to bring nonliving materials to life, or something close to it, in the ...

Since its molecular structure was deduced in the 1950s, DNA has been hailed by many biologists as the secret of life. They’ve read and studied the information stored in the DNA found in the cells of ...

Peptide research has expanded dramatically as investigators continue to explore short amino acid chains that participate in intricate regulatory networks across biological system. Among these ...
