Researchers developed a technique to gain a deeper understanding of ribosome function and their cooperative behaviors.

How does DNA determine an organism’s characteristics? A process called translation decodes RNA created during transcription, and uses it to create proteins that perform specific cellular functions.

A sophisticated molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures the accurate assembly of genetic information from the genome into ...

Cells express their genes by converting the genetic message into protein. This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

Unlike traditional vaccines, mRNA vaccines work by introducing a synthetic strand of messenger RNA into the body. This strand instructs cells to produce a protein that triggers an immune response.
