Gene expression is linked to RNA transcription, which cannot happen without RNA polymerase. However, this is where the similarities between prokaryote and eukaryote expression end. Central to the ...
Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for enteroviruses ...
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 98, No. 5 (Feb. 27, 2001), pp. 2550-2554 (5 pages) The yeast transcriptional repressor Tup1, tethered to DNA, ...
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Primrose Bio, Inc. ("Primrose"), a company with proprietary therapeutic manufacturing technologies, today announced the launch of Prima RNApols™ ExTend Cap AU, ...
High-accuracy single-molecule unique molecular identifier sequencing reveals non-random, biologically driven mutation heterogeneity within influenza quasi-species, enabling precise profiling of ...
Nucleosomes are barriers to RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcribing along gene bodies in eukaryotes. We found that a fragile “tailless nucleosome” could be generated to resolve the Pol II pausing ...
When RNA molecules are synthesized by cells — a critical process in the creation of proteins and other cellular functions — they typically undergo a series of “folding” events that determine their ...
Nipah virus is a zoonotic virus harbored by fruit bats. It can be transmitted to pigs and humans, infect people through contaminated food, and can travel directly from person to person via droplets.
We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of ...
