Two molecular control factors play a decisive role in what is known as splicing, the cutting and assembly of mature messenger ...

Bioluminescent luciferase enzymes have historically been too dim to use as probes in living tissue. But recent advances have ...

Prof. Göpfrich's work starts with the question of how synthetic cells can be created that bypass protein synthesis, which is ...

The central dogma of molecular biology suggests that the primary role of RNA is to convert the information stored in DNA into proteins. In reality, there is much more to the RNA story. However, in ...

Samples are commonly stored in a way that degrades RNA. Scientists are devising new ways to overcome this obstacle for RNA sequencing. RNA is more subject to degradation than DNA, whether chemical, ...
