A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

Protein synthesis is vital for life, translating genetic information from DNA to functional proteins through transcription ...

New research has investigated the mechanism by which bivalency functions to poise genes for expression during cell differentiation, providing insight into a long-standing paradigm in the regulation of ...

New research suggests that the first Indo-European speakers lived in southern Russia 6,500 years ago, challenging ...

Could a novel approach to genetic studies give us a clearer picture of how evolutionary adaptations occur? That's what the ...

For people with weakened immune systems, common molds lurking in the environment—in the soil, along damp walls or on a forgotten apple—can cause dangerous infections deep inside the body. These ...

This manuscript describes an important finding of the transcriptional control of a chimeric gene transfer agents (GTA) cluster in Bartonella by a processive anti-termination factor (BrrG). The ...

A method for genetically barcoding Drosophila is developed and used to tag defined cell populations in vivo for single-cell transcriptomics experiments and to enable multiplexed behavioral analysis.
