Humans evolved late in Earth history. While this timing inspired the conclusion that humanlike life is a cosmic improbability ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell ...

This engineered genome will help experts tailor organisms to fit the needs of their ever-changing environments.

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell select this information? A large molecular machine called the spliceosome ...

Mitosis orchestrates eukaryotic cell division, maintaining genetic fidelity and playing a key role in development, tissue homeostasis, and cancer progression.

Jumbo phages utilize a complex protein import system, with Imp1 as a key gatekeeper, to transport proteins into their ...

Eukaryotic cell DNA in a nucleus, plasmids are found in a few simple eukaryotic organisms. Prokaryotic cell DNA is a single molecule, found free in the cytoplasm; additional DNA is found on one or ...
