Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered how molecular "traffic controllers" in cells influence aging and cellular ...

RNAConnect, a life science company providing next generation tools to the RNA community, today announced the commercial availability of the UltraMarathonRT® Direct RNA‑Seq (uMRT DRS) Kit, a native‑RNA ...

These sequences are extremely prone to mutations and rank among the most functionally important regions in the entire human ...

Transcription factors are the most powerful genes in our body. They are master regulators and have been implicated in our biggest diseases, even aging itself. Yet, many in the pharmaceutical industry ...

Structures long blamed for blocking genes actually help them turn on, according to the Cornell Chronicle. Cornell scientists found that nucleosomes — the spools that package DNA — relieve twisting ...

Humans have it. So does Drosophila. But not yeast. That "it" is a small pause at the start of gene activity—a brief molecular halt that may have helped life evolve from simple cells to complex animals ...
