In the study of bacteria, a longstanding dogma has held that two molecular machines—RNA polymerase, which leads the way in transcribing DNA into RNA, and ribosomes, which bring up the rear translating ...

A research team led by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) has revealed how the genome is reorganized in 3D during male germ cell formation in vertebrates, leading to important new insights ...

Scientists have deciphered the genome of the bacterium behind the world's first recorded pandemic that swept through the eastern Mediterranean about 1,500 years ago. Researchers found Yersinia pestis, ...

Deep within tropical forests, sloths move at a pace that seems almost frozen in time. Their slow movements, low energy use, ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...

First in vivo human evidence that Candela's Nordlys laser remodels DNA methylation associated with skin aging and has a direct molecular link to skin cancer biology ...

Researchers from The University of Manchester—in collaboration with the Universities of Granada, Lund, and Oslo—have conducted the first-ever ethical analysis of artificial human DNA. The study, ...
