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 ...

There are only about 20,000 different genes in the human genome, yet our bodies are filled with an incredible diversity of cell types performing innumerable functions. The key to that diversity in ...

Life's instructions are written in DNA, but it is the enzyme RNA polymerase II (Pol II) that reads the script, transcribing ...

This image illustrates the process of gene transcription within a cell. The DNA double helix unwinds to expose a specific sequence, allowing RNA polymerase to synthesize a complementary pre-mRNA ...

This study presents a valuable tool named TSvelo, a computational framework for RNA velocity inference that models transcriptional regulation and gene-specific splicing. The evidence supporting the ...

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – RNA transcription is the genomic process in which a cell produces a duplicate of a gene’s DNA sequence. Present in both DNA and RNA sequences, a G-quadruplex (GQ) is a structure of ...

Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation.

Images of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. In the plant on the right, the activity of the protein-RNA complex "U1 snRNP" was artificially reduced. The plants are 21 days old. Plants have a ...
