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 ...

The proteins involved in reading out and transcribing DNA into precursor RNA are already known to scientists. However, an important sub-step in the process of creating mature mRNA has only been ...

When the molecular machinery in our cells gets to work transcribing the genetic information encoded in DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA), it pauses shortly after starting. Known as promoter-proximal ...

DNA and mRNA vaccines produce a different kind of immune response than traditional vaccines, allowing researchers to tackle some previously unsolvable problems in medicine.

While the first Covid-19 vaccines relying on mRNA technology speed toward U.S. approval, it’s worth remembering the vehicle that gets them where they need to go.

For decades, Katalin Karikó's work into mRNA therapeutics was overlooked by her colleagues. Now it's at the heart of the two leading coronavirus vaccines ...

New mechanism for terminating transcription of DNA into RNA in bacteria Date: May 8, 2021 Source: Penn State Summary: A bacterial protein helps to stop transcription -- the process of making RNA ...
