The central dogma of molecular biology suggests that the primary role of RNA is to convert the information stored in DNA into proteins. In reality, there is much more to the RNA story. However, in ...

Two molecular control factors play a decisive role in what is known as splicing, the cutting and assembly of mature messenger ...

The resulting primary transcript, known as pre-mRNA in eukaryotes, undergoes several processing steps before becoming a mature mRNA molecule: After processing, the mature mRNA is transported from the ...

Only recently has the ribosome—one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms—been recognized as an active ...

Researchers have used genetic tools to investigate how specific nerve cells in the brain respond after a spinal cord injury.

Messenger RNA carries genetic information from DNA in the highly protected nucleus out to the rest of the cell, where structures called ribosomes can build proteins according to the DNA blueprint.

When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA). This process takes place in the nucleus and occurs in a series of stages. The two ...

The unexpected discovery may provide scientists with new insights into how cancer develops — and how to combat it.

This core performs non-radioactive, RNA in situ hybridization (ISH) on tissue sections ... Co-transmitting neurons in the lateral septal nucleus exhibit features of neurotransmitter switching. IBRO ...
