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 ...

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

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

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

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 ...

Eukaryotic microorganisms, or protists, are essential ecological agents that populate various environments like aquatic and ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...

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

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