Scientists are using cell-free transcription and translation systems to synthesize proteins, design biology-based sensors and ...

The genetic information stored in DNA is a living archive of instructions that cells use to accomplish the functions of life. Inside each cell, catalysts seek out the appropriate information from this ...

A pink ribosome surrounds part of a red-and-yellow helix-shaped strand of messenger RNA while a yellow protein branch extends from the ribosome. A graphic representation of a ribosome (pink) ...

Aging selectively impairs the production of crucial DNA- and RNA-binding proteins, which contributes to hallmarks of aging in the brains of killifish, according to a new study. The findings advance ...

A landmark Perspective in Nature Reviews Cancer argues that the cancer dark proteome — thousands of uncharacterized proteins ...

Researchers have directly visualised a key genetic process called translation, to better understand how embryos ...

For the first time, scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine have developed a technology allowing them to "see" single molecules of messenger RNA as they are translated into proteins in ...
