In prokaryotic cells, transcription (DNA to mRNA) and translation (mRNA to protein) are so closely linked that translation usually begins before transcription is complete.

To manufacture protein molecules, a cell must first transfer information from DNA to mRNA through the process of transcription. Then, a process called translation uses this mRNA as a template for ...

DNA translation is the term used to describe the process of protein synthesis by ribosomes in the cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum. The genetic information in DNA is used as a basis to create ...

By tethering RNA polymerase with the coupling transcription factor NusG or its paralog or version, RfaH, which threads the ...

It has genes for ribosomes, tRNAs, and mRNAs. These components are the scaffolding of life: the tools by which cells read ...

Researchers have discovered a new function of ribosomes in human cells that may show the protein-making particle's role in destroying healthy mRNAs, the messages that decode DNA into protein.

Ribosomes are molecular machines that translate messenger RNA (mRNA), which is transcribed from DNA, into proteins. ... ribosomes compared to bacteria. But the delay adds accuracy, since human ...

Scientists have discovered that tRNAs can determine how long mRNAs exist in a cell, causing some messages to be stabilized ...

As Tanenbaum and his team watched translation unfold, they found that at any given time, each socRNA was bound by one to four ribosomes and that these molecular machines exhibited varied translation ...

In addition to nuclear DNA, some DNA is present in energy-producing mitochondria, small organelles found free-floating in the cytoplasm, the area of the cell outside the nucleus. The three types of ...

Biomemory, a digital storage startup, is selling DNA cards that store digital information in unique strands of DNA. Each card costs $1,000 and stores one kilobyte of data.
