Novel technology enables discovery, which could help predict tumour recurrence Researchers from the Fred Hutch Cancer Centre, ...

RNA polymerase is an enzyme that is responsible for copying a DNA sequence into an RNA sequence, duyring the process of transcription. As complex molecule composed of protein subunits, RNA ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology ...

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 have shown, for the first time, how the genetic material of the Nipah virus replicates in infected cells. The ...

The replication of the Nipah virus's genetic material in infected cells has been demonstrated for the first time by ...

Chemical and biomolecular engineers at Georgia Tech have developed a plug-and-play platform that's simple, flexible, and easy ...

The virus uses its own RNA copying machine, called a polymerase, to make duplicates of RNA inside the vesicles. Some of the copies are utilized to make more viral proteins, such as the spike.

A new method for mapping torsion provides insights into the ways that the genome responds to the torsion generated by RNA polymerase II.

A child with a rare genetic disorder — spinal muscular atrophy type I — was treated prenatally for the first time. Courtesy of Jakob Owens  via Unsplash During an amniocentesis test, a long, thin ...

There are a variety of different types of RNA polymerases that can transcribe different types of RNA. RNA polymerase II, shown here, is responsible for creating messenger RNA (mRNA), which is the main ...
