Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 119, No. 4 (January 25, 2022), pp. 1-11 (11 pages) RNA is a ubiquitous biomolecule that can serve as both catalyst ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

Research into how a father’s choices — such as diet, exercise, stress, nicotine use — may transfer traits to his children has become impossible to ignore.

When the Nanog gene (green region) is inactive, one of the three enhancer regions is spatially far away. When active, the same enhancer region makes close contact, interacting with the other enhancers ...
