Researchers have uncovered a previously hidden layer of complexity in how genes are activated, showing that water molecules ...

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 ...

SIRF, a method that maps reversed DNA replication forks in single cells, uncovering epigenetic signals linked to replication ...

Every living cell must interpret its genetic code - a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions. A new study by researchers from the Center for Theoretical Biological ...
