RNA is the means of translating the genetic code embedded in DNA into proteins, which serve as enzymes, transporters, ...

The fungal-derived meroterpenoid pyripyropene A exhibits significant biological activities, including potent inhibition of acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) and high insecticidal efficacy ...

A study reveals chromatin moves in constrained or freer patterns, shaping how genes contact regulatory elements and repair DNA, offering new insights into nuclear processes and genome dynamics.

Plant molecular evolution offers key insights into how coding and regulatory changes shape the diversity of form and function across the plant kingdom. The ...

On the left is a snapshot of single histone molecules (red) inside a cell nucleus (dotted line). On the right, we see the trajectories of these molecules’ movement over time. The colors show the path ...

Gene expression patterns in the inner ear put an old question about structures called kinocilia back in motion.

Whole-genome sequencing detects single nucleotide variants but tends to miss larger changes, such as deletions, insertions, duplications, and inversions. Using a new machine-learning method to analyze ...

National Eye Institute (NEI) scientists have found that the way the retina metabolizes glucose directly controls which genes get switched on and off in light-sensing photoreceptors. The findings ...

The expanding field of short peptide bioregulators has generated sustained interest in recent decades, particularly in ...

National Eye Institute researchers have uncovered how glucose metabolism in the retina influences gene expression in photoreceptors, offering new potential targets for age-related macular degeneration ...
