Transcription is the process of copying DNA to RNA. The accuracy of transcription processes varies widely among species, across cell types and within distinct regions of the genome, with profound ...
Every living cell transcribes DNA into RNA. This process begins when an enzyme called RNA polymerase (RNAP) clamps onto DNA. Within a few hundred milliseconds, the DNA double helix unwinds to form a ...
Every living cell must interpret its genetic code - a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions. A new study by researchers from the Center for Theoretical Biological ...
The study, authored by Tripti Midha, Anatoly Kolomeisky and Oleg Igoshin and published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Every living cell must interpret its genetic code — a ...
Changes in genes have been linked to the development of different diseases for a while. However, it's not exactly clear what ...
Our bodies’ molecular machinery breaks down with age. DNA accumulates mutations. The protective ends of chromosomes erode away. Mitochondria, the cell’s energy factory, falter and break down. The ...
