In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

From vaccines and diagnostics to emerging gene-based therapies, RNA molecules are now central to modern medicine. But as their use continues to grow, so does a fundamental challenge: producing RNA ...

Researchers developed C28, an engineered polymerase that efficiently synthesizes RNA at near-natural speeds with high accuracy. Created through directed evolution, the enzyme also performs reverse ...

Inside every cell, thousands of molecular signals collide, overlap, and compensate, obscuring the true drivers of gene expression. Scientists have now developed a way to silence that cellular noise, ...

Genetics tools have advanced significantly in recent decades, and have allowed scientist to sequence all of the genetic ...

tRNAs have a distinct cloverleaf secondary structure and an L-shaped tertiary structure. The cloverleaf structure is formed by the folding of the single-stranded tRNA molecule, which is typically ...

Illinois biochemistry professor Satish Nair and his colleagues discovered a new class of DNA-protein hybrids and determined the mechanisms by which they are formed in bacterial cells. The findings ...
