Gene expression is linked to RNA transcription, which cannot happen without RNA polymerase. However, this is where the similarities between prokaryote and eukaryote expression end. Central to the ...

Researchers have struggled to unravel what causes cryptic transcription in human cells because cryptic transcripts are difficult to detect and distinguish from other RNA transcripts with traditional ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

Proteins that trigger cell senescence occupy much of the literature on aging, but a small RNA moves into the limelight ... The researchers went back to the drawing board and emerged with a new ...
