How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

Researchers have shown that translation of the genetic information stored in our DNA is much more complex than previously thought. This discovery was made by developing a type of advanced microscopy ...

A region of DNA that codes for a protein, often referred to as a gene, is the fundamental unit of heredity responsible for specific traits and functions within an organism. This intricate segment of ...

Nuclear-encoded regulatory proteins control mitochondrial translation. A few, however, are encoded by the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and are produced by the mitochondrial translation machinery.

Reading DNA is fundamental The foundations of life hinge on the precise replication and transcription of DNA and the translation of the resultant messenger RNAs. These processes are responsible for ...

How is the activity of genes regulated by the packaging of DNA? To answer this question, researchers developed a technique to measure both gene expression and DNA packaging at the same time. How is ...

LOS ALAMOS, N.M., April 1, 2021--In support of a major collaborative project to store massive amounts of data in DNA molecules, a Los Alamos National Laboratory-led team has developed a key enabling ...
