Gene expression is linked to RNA transcription, which cannot happen without RNA polymerase. However, this is where the similarities between prokaryote and eukaryote expression end. Central to the ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology ...

There are a variety of different types of RNA polymerases that can transcribe different types of RNA. RNA polymerase II, shown here, is responsible for creating messenger RNA (mRNA), which is the main ...

Researchers have shown, for the first time, how the genetic material of the Nipah virus replicates in infected cells. The ...

Novel technology enables discovery, which could help predict tumour recurrence Researchers from the Fred Hutch Cancer Centre, ...

The replication of the Nipah virus's genetic material in infected cells has been demonstrated for the first time by ...

Chemical and biomolecular engineers at Georgia Tech have developed a plug-and-play platform that's simple, flexible, and easy ...

Although several vaccines and drugs are available against SARS-CoV-2, the search for effective therapeutic agents for COVID-19 and future zoonotic coronaviruses continues. The RNA-dependent RNA ...

The virus uses its own RNA copying machine, called a polymerase, to make duplicates of RNA inside the vesicles. Some of the copies are utilized to make more viral proteins, such as the spike.

A new method for mapping torsion provides insights into the ways that the genome responds to the torsion generated by RNA polymerase II.
