However, in the half-century since the structure of DNA was first elaborated, scientists have learned that RNA does much more than simply play a role in protein synthesis. For example, many types ...

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA).

HHMI scientists and their colleagues discover a new mechanism of protein synthesis. Ribosomes are the cell’s molecular machines, responsible for translating genetic information in messenger RNA into ...

tRNAs are highly conserved across all domains of life, from bacteria to archaea and eukaryotes. This evolutionary conservation highlights the fundamental role of tRNA in the essential process of ...

So how does protein synthesis make hair? If you've looked at the activity (or even the text version of the activity), you know how a section of DNA instructs a cell how to make a protein.

Using efficient gene design algorithms that optimize codon usage results in high amounts of recombinant protein expression. To guarantee 100% sequence correctness, GenScript’s DNA synthesis ...

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-encoded RNA molecules undergo extensive processing to generate mature RNA, including removal of ...
