RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers report the successful in vitro reconstitution of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks ...

This study is the first to demonstrate that certain tRNA introns influence gene expression. Scientists have discovered that ...

In a study published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, scientists from the Department of Medical Biochemistry and ...

Researchers find a master epigenetic switch that activates silenced genes to compensate for their missing counterparts in a ...

This is an important and solid study that examines the role of TFAM, a protein that helps maintain mtDNA, in mtDNA mutator mice. The authors have demonstrated that TFAM's counteractive role in mtDNA ...

A new study has discovered in mouse models that genes associated with repairing mismatched DNA are critical in eliciting damages ... A longstanding enigma in the Huntington's disease is how the ...

Destruction of islet cells with streptozotocin in mice induced hyperglycemia, intravascular oxidant production, DNA strand breakage ... are expressed in pmol/mg protein; eNOS activity is expressed ...

Learning about your genetics and ancestry is easier than ever. All you need to do is choose from the many DNA ancestry tests available online, receive your kit and send back the required DNA samples.

Multiple forms of double-stranded RNA (blue, magenta, orange structures) cross cell membranes with the help of a conserved protein located in novel sites ... 1 that helps regulate ‘jumping genes’— DNA ...

These differences possibly reflect variation in the DNA binding specificities of packaging proteins, but are unlikely to alter ... the 40 kDa IVa2 produced two complexes in EMSA with the A1-A2 probe.
