Scientists are seeking to decipher the role of non-coding DNA in the human genome, helped by a suite of ...

Vulnerabilities in the brain A mouse model was developed to probe which cell types are most susceptible to producing misfolded proteins due to transcription errors.

A detailed picture of what happens when DNA transcription is paused early in the process has been obtained by structural biologists at RIKEN. This could inform the development of new therapies.

Until now, the mechanisms of how the local DNA context affects these errors have not been well understood. The research team developed a theoretical framework that links transcription fidelity to ...

Aug 12, 2025 Pressing pause on DNA transcription What happens on the atomic scale when DNA transcription is paused has been unveiled for the first time. (Nanowerk News) A detailed picture of what ...

As illustrated with OnScreen Gene Transcription in our May 1 column, OnScreen Science now has a few very nice iPad apps to teach students about DNA and RNA. The OnScreen DNA Model app was the ...
