Reducing our intake of a single amino acid called methionine, which we get from the food we eat, could help protect against ...

To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian ...

Nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) are polymers of nucleotides – each nucleotide consists of a pentose sugar, a phosphate group and one of the nitrogenous bases (purines and pyrimidines). Nucleic acids ...

For the first of these tasks Dr Baker and his colleagues use RF diffusion, an AI model they have developed to predict a ...

RNA (ribonucleic acid) is a nucleic acid polymer where the carbohydrate is ribose. RNA is generally single-stranded, as DNA is transcribed by RNA polymerases into mRNA (messenger RNA), which is ...

Fred Hutch researchers have created a gene-expression map of glial cells of the tiny worm, C. elegans, adding the missing ...

Insects possess a remarkable ability to develop innate immune memory, and the mechanisms underlying this process are becoming a central topic in innate immunity research.

Nucleic acid immunity involves a sophisticated set of mechanisms for identifying nucleic acids by immune receptors, playing a vital role in physiological ...
