In the classic view of the transcriptome, RNA polymerase initiates ... Escherichia coli DNA in human cells) will be of interest. It is clear that eukaryotic organisms express many more ...

Centromeres are vital chromosomal structures that ensure accurate genetic material distribution during cell division and contain rapidly evolving deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences, such as ...

How cells respond to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage is not fully understood. This study uncovers a mechanism of mtDNA ...

The completion of chromosome synXVI allows scientists to explore new possibilities in metabolic engineering and strain ...

DNA transcription is the vital first step needed for switching on our genes. For a gene to be switched on, it must be acted ...

In the new study, researchers homed in on a part of the viral machinery called the viral polymerase complex, a group of ...

Here, we use a synthetic amphiphile to modulate the membrane mechanical properties of cell-derived vesicles and probe channel activation. Using precise membrane mechanical characterization approaches ...

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the nucleic acid polymer that forms the genetic code for a cell or virus. Most DNA molecules consist of two polymers (double-stranded) of four nucleotides that each ...
