The being in question is a microbe called Sukunaarchaeum mirabile. Preliminary research says it stretches the definition of ...

It has genes for ribosomes, tRNAs, and mRNAs. These components are the scaffolding of life: the tools by which cells read ...

The central dogma processes of DNA replication, transcription, and translation are responsible for the maintenance and expression of every gene in an organism. An orthogonal central dogma may ...

The mRNA that is created in the process of transcription comprises a sequence of nucleotides. A set of three-letter combinations of nucleotides is called a codon. Codons can either encode a specific ...

The concept of transcription and translation opposing each other to restrain tumor formation was so novel that Jana had to give this phenomenon a name: transcriptional-translational conflict. It thus ...

Further translation of the language of the genome Date: April 9, 2025 Source: Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute Summary: Research into transcription factors deepen understanding of the 'language' of ...

This newly found organism doesn’t act like a virus or a cell, and that could change everything we know about biology.

Researchers from the A*STAR Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB) have identified Nr1h2, a critical transcription factor essential for early embryo development. Published in Nature ...

The journey from gene to protein is complex and tightly controlled within each cell. It consists of two major steps: transcription and translation. Here, we describe the processes of transcription and ...
