Could yeast and humans be any more different? Going by looks alone, probably not. But peering into our genomes reveals ...

Proteins are synthesized through two processes involving DNA: transcription, which converts DNA into mRNA; and translation, ...

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 ...

Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...

In yeast cells, shown here, the Dicer protein protects DNA (bright blue) by helping to resolve conflicts between ...

Biological rhythms aren't just for sleep. In the tiny worm C. elegans, researchers in the Grosshans lab and the Computational ...

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, ...
