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

The miRNA genes are transcribed for pri-miRNA by polymerase II or polymerase III ... or are shunned by RNA viruses with genetic mutations. Moreover, miRNAs in eukaryotes are highly conserved and are ...

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell ...

Now, researchers used cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) to elucidate the structure of the Nipah virus polymerase complex ... for both transcription and RNA replication and mutations that have ...

Many studies have used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to infer gene regulatory networks (GRNs), which are crucial for ...

Every living organism falls into one of two groups: eukaryotes or prokaryotes, with cellular structure determining which group an organism belongs to. Prokaryotes are unicellular and lack a nucleus ...

This important study presents compelling observational data supporting a role for transcription and polysome accumulation in the separation of newly replicated bacterial chromosomes. The study is ...

Prokaryotic cell DNA is a single molecule, found free in the cytoplasm; additional DNA is found on one or more rings called plasmids.

Analyzing 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequences allows researchers to elucidate the prokaryotic composition of an environment. In recent years, third-generation sequencing technology has provided ...
