The mammalian elongation complex has remained a mystery – until researchers discovered how it controls its speed.

Researchers have identified a stress-activated control mechanism that helps breast cancer cells reshape gene activity to ...

EVE combines evolutionary insights with human population data to identify damaging genetic mutations, improving variant ...

Cells frequently encounter conditions that can damage them or even lead to cell death. To keep functioning, they must rapidly ...

Multicellular cyanobacteria do something strikingly sophisticated with their DNA, toggling key genes on and off as day turns to night so different cells can specialize without starving the colony of ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising mechanism by which a brain enzyme called OTULIN controls the expression of tau, the ...
