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 ...
It has long been accepted that a gene's protein-coding information is contained in only one of its two DNA strands. But in 22 February Nature, Victor Corces and co-workers at the Department of Biology ...
A routine experiment with a new single-cell DNA sequencing method turned into a surprising scientific twist when researchers ...
DNA-to-protein mapping could help researchers understand some health disparities. A new genetic mapping study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health traces links ...

A protein thought to play a supporting role in DNA replication actually facilitates the whole process
Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

A bizarre genetic code found in a microscopic pond organism is rewriting what scientists thought DNA could do
In a shallow pond at Oxford University Parks, surrounded by dog walkers and rowing crews, a single-celled organism has been ...
Plasmids, small circular DNA molecules found in bacteria, may contain antibiotic-resistance genes and have the ability to replicate independently. Bacteria can transfer these plasmids to one another, ...
Scientists have discovered that a protein once thought to simply help load a factor necessary for the copying of DNA, actually plays a key role in ensuring fast and reliable replication—an insight ...
