Why some genes are more error-prone: Scientists uncover hidden rule in DNA transcription
Every living cell must interpret its genetic code—a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions. A new study by researchers from the Center for Theoretical Biological ...

New research reveals how the RapA enzyme protects against R-loop cytotoxicity in E. coli. Genetically speaking, it's a bacterium's worst-case scenario: during transcription, newly minted RNA sticks to ...
We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of ...
