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 ...

DNA is essentially a storage molecule. It contains all of the instructions a cell needs to sustain itself. These instructions are found within genes, which are sections of DNA made up of specific ...

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

Researchers discovered peptides that permanently block a key cancer protein once thought untreatable, using a new screening ...

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 ...

A team of researchers at Karolinska Institutet has developed a novel tool for genetic research. The study, published in ...

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

Mediator is a common target of DNA-binding transcription factors (TFs) and also interacts with various Pre-Initiation Complex (PIC) factors. The PIC consists of TFIIA, TFIIB, TFIID, TFIIE, TFIIF, ...

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

For organs to develop, grow and regenerate, cells must proliferate. But when that process goes awry, leading to uncontrolled cell growth, cancer can emerge.
