Constrained coding is a combinatorial technique for converting unrestricted sequences into sequences with a predefined set of properties. Traditionally, applications of this coding technique are ...

A strategy that analyzes the structural properties of RNA could help identify regions that are promising targets for antiviral drugs.

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...

In addition to this important function, non-coding DNA contains elements that are involved in transcriptional regulation. 22 According to the 2013 University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) genome ...

The growing incidence of infectious diseases, cancer, and chronic illnesses has substantially increased the demand for ...

A more effective vaccine technology may be on the horizon. In a new study in mice, researchers from the University of ...

Investigating enhancers has always been challenging, because each of these sequences contains multiple binding sites for transcription factors, the molecules that switch DNA transcription on or off.

Researchers discovered a previously unknown function of RNA, potentially opening the door to new ways to treat cancer and ...
