Scientists at IOCB Prague are uncovering new details of gene transcription. They have identified a previously unknown ...

DNA can be regarded as an extensive library that contains all genetic information. Cells do not utilize this information simultaneously.

Google’s artificial intelligence research laboratory where AlphaFold was developed—has officially released a new machine ...

Every living cell must interpret its genetic code - a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions. A new study by researchers from the Center for Theoretical Biological ...

When the molecular machinery in our cells gets to work transcribing the genetic information encoded in DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA), it pauses shortly after starting. Known as promoter-proximal ...

New research has uncovered more about the complexity of human gene regulation by identifying certain sequences of proteins called transcription factors that bind to DNA and regulate the expression of ...

A new LUMC study has changed our understanding of how cells work. Researchers have discovered that the CFAP20 protein acts as a kind of "traffic controller" on DNA. Without this protein, chaos ensues, ...

Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the earliest stages of embryonic development. These mosaic mutations often go ...

The field of cancer epigenetics examines how heritable changes in gene regulation - independent of DNA sequence - impact ...

A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...
