Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

Life’s instructions are written in DNA, but it is the enzyme RNA polymerase II (Pol II) that reads the script, transcribing RNA in eukaryotic cells and eventually giving rise to proteins. Scientists ...

Scientists at IOCB Prague are uncovering new details of gene transcription. They have identified a previously unknown ...

Scientists have found a new process that happens when an active gene is transcribed from DNA into messenger RNA.. | Cell And ...

DNA is often described as the instruction manual for building the fundamental components of life. Proteins are helpers that ...

A cell protein previously believed only to provide a scaffolding for DNA has also been shown to directly influence DNA transcription into RNA – the first step of the process by which an organism's ...

When the molecular machinery in our cells gets to work transcribing the genetic information encoded in DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA), it pauses shortly after starting. Known as promoter-proximal ...

DNA can be regarded as an extensive library that contains all genetic information. Cells do not utilize this information simultaneously.

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 ...

DNA can be thought of as a vast library that stores all genetic information. Cells do not use this information all at once. Instead, they copy only the necessary parts into RNA, which is then used to ...
