Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...

New York University chemists have employed a computer simulation whose results have enhanced scientific understanding of the DNA transcription process. The study, funded by the National Institutes of ...

Molecular biologists have long believed that the beginning of a gene launched the process of transcription—the process by which a segment of DNA is copied into RNA and then RNA helps make the proteins ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a protein that acts like a traffic controller for DNA, preventing damage during cell ...

Long Interspersed Nuclear Element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...

Biological rhythms aren't just for sleep. In the tiny worm C. elegans, researchers in the Grosshans lab and the Computational ...

One of the most important functions of topoisomerase I is the regulation of DNA supercoiling. In fact, the DNA molecule is usually folded back on itself several times to fit inside the cell nucleus ...

In order for a virus like the COVID-19 virus to be detected early in the body using real time RT–PCR, scientists need to convert the RNA to DNA. This is a process called ‘reverse transcription’. They ...
