How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

The regulation of mRNA transcription plays a key role in relaying signals from the environment and during development into the gene expression program of a cell. During transcription initiation, a ...

Roger Kornberg of the United States won the Nobel Chemistry Prize yesterday for work on a key process of life called genetic transcription, building on Nobel prizewinning discoveries by his own father ...

Genes can be turned on and off as needed to adapt to environmental changes. But how do the different molecules involved interact with each other? Scientists present a candidate mathematical model for ...
