Enzyme: This game-changing protein might be the key to understanding how our cells divide and why cancer happens. Here's what ...

Researchers at the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) reveal that metabolic enzymes known for their roles in energy ...

These CENP-A proteins ensure that divided genetic information is kept intact during mitosis.

Metabolic enzymes, typically associated with energy production, are now discovered to also play essential roles in the nucleus, such as orchestrating cell division and DNA repair. This breakthrough, ...

Studies suggest the cell is more interconnected than previously thought, opening up "exciting possibilities for science and medicine." ...

The mystery of why life uses molecules with specific orientations has deepened with a discovery that RNA—a key molecule ...

Life Sciences Center (LSC) have discovered a unique way for cells to silence specific genes without cutting DNA. This research, led by Prof. Patrick Pausch and published in the journal Nature ...

Gene mutations have consequences both good and bad—from resistance to conditions like diabetes to susceptibility to certain ...

This important work advances our understanding of DNA methylation and its consequences for susceptibility to DNA damage. This work presents evidence that DNA methylation can accentuate the genomic ...

The bricks are placed into a solution and onto specific regions along the blank DNA template. Next, an enzyme copies all of ...

Because the bricks self-assemble on the template DNA strand, lots of writing happens at once, rather than bit by bit. Speeding up the process, and making it accessible to non-scientists, could help ...
