If DNA is a book, then how is it read? Learn more about the DNA transcription process, where DNA is converted to RNA, a more portable set of instructions for the cell. The process of transcription ...

A research team led by Dr. Li Yunhai from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of ...

The unexpected discovery may provide scientists with new insights into how cancer develops — and how to combat it.

A new method for mapping torsion provides insights into the ways that the genome responds to the torsion generated by RNA polymerase II.

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 ...

For the first time, scientists have identified promising drug candidates that bind irreversibly with a notoriously ...

A research team led by Prof. Cao Xiaofeng at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese ...

This study shows that RNA decay rather than the presence of premature termination codons triggers a TA-like response.

A recent study has shed light on the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms of Penicillium expansum, the fungal culprit behind ...

A recent study has unveiled the critical roles of two transcription factors, MAFB and CEBPA, in the development of ...
