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

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

Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine ...

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 ...

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 ...

New research has uncovered more about the complexity of human gene regulation by identifying certain sequences of proteins called transcription factors that bind to DNA and regulate the expression of ...

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 ...

The field of cancer epigenetics examines how heritable changes in gene regulation - independent of DNA sequence - impact ...

DNA, though tightly packed in the nucleus, is constantly threatened by damage from metabolism and external stressors. One particularly severe form of DNA damage is the so-called DNA–protein crosslinks ...
