Watch as DNA becomes protein in the process of protein synthesis.

It has long been accepted that a gene's protein-coding information is contained in only one of its two DNA strands. But in 22 February Nature, Victor Corces and co-workers at the Department of Biology ...

During translation, which is the second major step in gene expression, the mRNA is "read" according to the genetic code, which relates the DNA sequence to the amino acid sequence in proteins ...

Discover how epigenetics, DNA methylation, and recombinant protein expression are driving breakthroughs in modern genetic medicine.

Two forms of the ubiquitous protein actin differ by only four amino acids but are dissimilar in 13% of their nucleotide coding sequences due to silent substitutions. A new study reveals that these ...
