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 ...

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 ...

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

This important study presents compelling observational data supporting a role for transcription and polysome accumulation in the separation of newly replicated bacterial chromosomes. The study is ...

Thanks to mitochondria, eukaryotic ancestors had enough energy to develop into the more complex eukaryotic cells known today. The primary distinction between these two types of organisms is that ...
