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 ...

A virus relies on the host's translation machinery to replicate itself and become infectious. Translation efficiency ...

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 ...

When a gene is active, it's transcribed from DNA to RNA, and a specific sequence in the genetic code acts like a signpost so the cellular machinery knows where it should start transcribing a gene. But ...

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 ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University and RIKEN CSRS have developed a new analytical platform based on liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry and software analysis that quantifies the ...
