The four reports in Nature Methods and Nature Genetics describe novel strategies for processing whole genomic DNA that ... subsets of protein coding exons from the human genome, and one of them ...

“SMC motor proteins extrude DNA asymmetrically and can switch directions,” and is key to understanding how these motors shape our genome and regulate our genes. “Sometimes, a cell needs to ...

DNA is the molecule that holds the instructions for all living things. DNA achieves this feat of storing, coding and transferring biological information though its unique structure. Replication of ...

Every cell in your body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have mapped the genome of the Iberian ribbed newt and revealed how the composition and ...

"We discovered that RapA, a protein that we've been curious about for years, is one of those key mechanisms." All living things rely on RNAP to transcribe DNA into RNA. In bacteria, researchers ...

A new mega-database of half a million mutations may flag new ways of treating genetic disease, scientists say.

Researchers have optimized DNA-nanoparticle motors to achieve speeds of 30 nm/s, matching natural motor proteins. By ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have mapped the genome of the Iberian ribbed newt and revealed how the composition and ...

Researchers engineered a DNA-nanoparticle motor achieving 30 nm/s speed, enhancing performance to rival natural motor ...

One of the most significant updates to the genome maps includes the addition of more than 1,100 new protein-coding genes that were previously unidentified. These newly mapped genes offer insights ...
