Figure 1: An illustration showing RNA polymerase II (silver structure) transcribing DNA (yellow and orange helix) into messenger RNA. RIKEN researchers have conducted ...

Scientists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have used bacteria for recording, storing, and retrieving images in DNA. This biological analog to a digital camera, which the authors have ...

RNA Polymerase (shown in blue) moves across a template strand of DNA (shown in purple) and transcribes it into RNA (shown in red). But DNA damage blocks the RNA polymerase, causing it to stall and ...

When the molecular machinery in our cells gets to work transcribing the genetic information encoded in DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA), it pauses shortly after starting. Known as promoter-proximal ...

Mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) plays a crucial role in energy production and abnormalities in mtDNA are linked to various diseases. However, its regulatory mechanism remains ...

DNA can be regarded as an extensive library that contains all genetic information. Cells do not utilize this information simultaneously.

In a first-of-its-kind study, Arizona State University Professor Michael Lynch joins a multi-institute group of researchers to investigate transcription error rates ...
