Similarly, in 2020, the prize went to developers of CRISPR, "genetic scissors" for editing DNA strands, biopolymers made of nucleotide subunits that carry the code of life. "This is CRISPR for ...

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

Researchers in the Galej Group at EMBL Grenoble have provided new insights into the structure of the minor spliceosome, an essential RNA-protein ...

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 ...

Trypanosomes—like other living organisms—transcribe their DNA into messenger RNAs (mRNAs ... Unlike its human counterpart, which has two subunits, the trypanosome nuclear cap-binding complex ...
