To support drug discovery, a new study has revealed fundamental features of the transcription cycle in the bacteria that causes tuberculosis.

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life reconstructions ever created. Using computer technology, scientists have ...

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, ...

A team led by Professor Inkyung Jung from the Department of Biological Sciences at KAIST, working with Professor Yarui Diao’s ...

The re-transcribed DNA is then integrated into the genome of the host cell (Figure 2). This process requires the absence of the nuclear membrane and thus is restricted to the M-phase of proliferating ...

Ongoing research aims to confirm the mechanism by which ICP4 fluidizes the nucleus, which could indicate specific targets to counter viral replication.

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to increased knowledge about gene regulation in human cells. How genes are turned on ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...
