as DNA is transcribed by RNA polymerases into mRNA (messenger RNA), which is read by ribosomes to generate protein (translation). Biologically active RNAs, including transport, ribosomal and small ...

During splicing, which occurs after transcription (i.e., the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template), the introns are removed and the exons are joined, or spliced together.

In their effort to answer a decades-old biological question about how the hepatitis B virus (HBV) is able to establish ...

Yale researchers have created "Ochre," a genomically recoded organism that enables the production of synthetic proteins with novel properties, paving the way for groundbreaking applications in ...

Researchers say if their results are confirmed through further study they are optimistic the approach could be used to treat chronic infections for the first time.

Using a new technology and computational method, researchers have uncovered a biomarker capable of accurately predicting outcomes in meningioma brain tumors and breast cancers.

Torsional stress in chromatin plays a fundamental role in cellular functions, influencing key processes such as transcription, replication, and chromatin organization. Transcription and other ...

Researchers have successfully disrupted the hepatitis B virus's ability to infect human liver cells in the laboratory using a ...
