Atrandi Biosciences, a life sciences company pioneering next-generation single-cell analysis technology, today announced a $25 million Series A funding round led by Lux Capital, with participation ...

A popular model of evolution concludes that it was incredibly unlikely for humanity to evolve on Earth, and that extraterrestrial intelligence is vanishingly rare.

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 ...

Interrupting signals exchanged between tumors and the nervous system could become a critical pillar of cancer care ...

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 ...

Proteins' amino-acid sequences appear to guide their access to blob-like aggregates involved in many cell processes ...

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 ...

Virginia Tech neuroscientists have uncovered a mitochondrial process that supports the brain cells critical for learning, ...
