How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins ... If the leader is long, it may contain regulatory sequences, including binding sites for proteins, that can affect the stability of the ...

A DNA sequence is a specific lineup of chemical base pairs along its strand. The part of DNA that determines what protein to produce and when, is called a gene. First established in 1985 by Sir ...

While DNA sequencing is routine, determining protein sequences remains one of biology’s toughest challenges, says ...

the Cas9 protein hooks up with the guide RNA and then moves along the strands of DNA until it finds and binds to a 20-DNA-letter long sequence that matches part of the guide RNA sequence.

A revolution is underway in gene editing -- and at its forefront is David Liu, an American molecular biologist whose ...

Scientists have finally captured footage of the microscopic machinery that allows our cells to copy DNA—a fundamental process necessary for life itself. Using a sophisticated imaging technique that ...

A new set of artificial intelligence models could make protein sequencing even more powerful for better understanding cell biology and diseases.

Researchers harness the power of the world’s most advanced supercomputers to simulate the inner workings of cellular ...

Mobile DNA elements, such as Insertion Sequence (IS) elements, transposons, integrative elements (e.g. integrative islands), ...
