This narrated animation illustrates the process of protein synthesis, starting with chromosomal DNA inside the cell's nucleus. A gene is transcribed into messenger RNA, which leaves the nucleus and ...

How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...

The attachment of sugar molecules to proteins is one of the most common protein modifications, found in all domains of life. Sugars attached to proteins are called glycans, and modulate the ...

Proteins are essential biological molecules that perform a vast array of functions crucial for life, from catalyzing ...

Penny Riggs has received funding from the United States Department of Agriculture National Institute for Food and Agriculture and the National Science Foundation. DNA is found inside the cells of ...

Oryza sativa is the most common type of rice used as a food crop. [C T Johansson [CC BY 3.0], via Wikimedia Commons] A team led by scientists from the University of Chicago (UChicago) has published a ...

With GROVER, a new large language model trained on human DNA, researchers could now attempt to decode the complex information hidden in our genome. GROVER treats human DNA as a text, learning its ...

Epigenome editing has followed a similar path, in that more recent technological breakthroughs have enabled scientists to apply the discoveries made in previous decades. Epigenome editing performs a ...

In a new study, stem cell scientists at the Lund University, Sweden, explore the role of non-coding regions of the genome—previously deemed to be functionless “junk” DNA—and find humans and ...
