Life's instructions are written in DNA, but it is the enzyme RNA polymerase II (Pol II) that reads the script, transcribing RNA in eukaryotic cells and eventually giving rise to proteins. Scientists ...

The mammalian elongation complex has remained a mystery – until researchers discovered how it controls its speed.

PLAMseq utilizes a rapid biotinylation enzyme called TurboID, which tags nearby proteins, enabling the genomic loci and ...

For decades, biologists treated DNA as a static string of letters, a linear code that cells read like text on a page. A new wave of research is forcing a rethink, showing that the three-dimensional ...

A team of researchers, affiliated with UNIST, has identified a protein sensor that plays a key role in triggering severe inflammatory responses during mpox virus (MPXV) infection. The study reveals ...

Nobel laureate David Baker’s latest foundation model can design proteins that interact to any biomolecule for broad biotech applications.

New research shows that childhood environments shape lifelong memory through a single molecular switch that controls learning-related gene activity.

The study, published in Nature Communications, reveals that the transcription factor AP-1 acts as a molecular ‘switch’ that ...

Abstract Monkeypox, a zoonotic disease caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV), has significant global public health implications. Inflammasomes serve as ...

Leonardo Diaz, a recent UW graduate, won a first place research award in the graduate category at the Society of Toxicology’s ...
