Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But ...

A strategy that analyzes the structural properties of RNA could help identify regions that are promising targets for antiviral drugs.

Plant RNA viruses pose a significant threat to global agriculture, affecting a vast array of crop species and leading to ...

A new study reveals that blocking ribosomal RNA production rewires cancer cell behavior and could help treat genetically ...

Glucose levels influence physiology and adaptation rates under replication stress, yet core adaptive mutations remain ...

We report on coding methods for efficiently synthesizing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) for massive data storage, where a plurality of DNA strands are synthesized in parallel. We examine the trade-offs ...

The growing incidence of infectious diseases, cancer, and chronic illnesses has substantially increased the demand for ...

Investigating how mutations in tumors alter DNA’s 3D structure—and subsequently, regulatory sequences called enhancers—can ...

It follows a previous report showing that the Werner syndrome protein WRN and its interacting protein WRNIP1 are indispensable for translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) by Y-family DNA polymerases (Pols).

Scientists have uncovered a stealthy tactic used by the SARS-CoV-2 virus: one of its proteins can leap from infected cells to ...
