Apart from carrying the information to encode proteins in, RNA molecules can adopt intricate 2D and 3D structures.

Got junk? Learn how a new study suggests that, when it comes to our genetic code, that may actually be a good thing.

Notably, BPA alone had no effect, but when combined with RA, it caused a dramatic shift in gene expression and brain structure.

Gene expression is a pivotal biological process within organisms, and in recent years, the prediction of gene expression levels has garnered increasing attention due to its vast potential in clinical ...

Gene expression leading to alterations in the DNA caused by asbestos exposure may explain the development of Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM), a rare and aggressive cancer.

The gene expression capacity of bacteria depends on the interplay between growth and the availability of the transcriptional and translational machinery. Growth rate is accepted as the physiological ...

Synopsis Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes long-term infections characterised by slow or non-replicating growth states and controlled gene expression. This study finds these bacteria as the first ...
