A new imaging technique reveals ribosomes work together when translating mRNA, preventing slowdowns in protein production. This discovery challenges prior beliefs and could revolutionize our ...

The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But where does translation take place within a cell?

To manufacture protein molecules, a cell must first transfer information from DNA to mRNA through the process of transcription. Then, a process called translation uses this mRNA as a template for ...

Researchers from the Tanenbaum group at the Hubrecht Institute have developed a new microscopy technique to observe how ribosomes function in cells ...

In this review of RNA therapies, we paint an overview of what’s going on in a field that is addressing a number of diseases.

By quantifying the number of mRNA transcripts, the ones inside the cell and those bound to ribosomes, the team found that the translation efficiency of ... branched mRNA requires a prolonged ...

Researchers mapped HIV-1’s translation strategy, revealing RNA elements like uORFs, iORFs and an intricate frameshift site ...

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA).

RNA polymerase enzymes read the DNA sequence and synthesize messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, which carry the genetic information to the ribosomes for protein synthesis. translation is the process by ...
