During translation, which is the second major step in gene expression, the mRNA is "read" according to the genetic code, which relates the DNA sequence to the amino acid sequence in proteins ...

Discover how epigenetics, DNA methylation, and recombinant protein expression are driving breakthroughs in modern genetic medicine.

Researchers discovered that bacteria can perform DNA inversions within single genes, altering their genetic coding. This finding challenges traditional genetic understanding and may lead to novel ...

It has long been accepted that a gene's protein-coding information is contained in only one of its two DNA strands. But in 22 February Nature, Victor Corces and co-workers at the Department of Biology ...

Canadian researchers have unraveled a genetic "code within a code" that helps explain how the instructions for building complex organisms, like humans, can be found in a small number of genes.

Despite significant similarities in our DNA and few differences in our protein-coding genes, the human forebrain is larger and more complex than that of the chimpanzee.

Protein complex discovered to control DNA repair Study results open up new possibilities for cancer therapy Date: January 15, 2024 Source: Medical University of Vienna Summary: The repair of ...
