Researchers have reconstructed transcription in human mitochondria in unprecedented detail, revealing potential drug targets ...

Aging, neurological diseases and our bodies' stress response are all linked to the tiny power plants inside each cell known ...

A detailed picture of what happens when DNA transcription is paused early in the process has been obtained by structural biologists at RIKEN. This could inform the development of new therapies. When ...

DNA holds our genetic blueprints, but its cousin, RNA, conducts our daily lives I n 1957, just four years after Francis Crick ...

Every living cell must interpret its genetic code - a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions. A new study by researchers from the Center for Theoretical Biological ...
