In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, ...

Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...

Propagation of expression noise from mRNA to protein level is influenced by variation in availability of ribosomal machinery.

To better understand how RNA in bacteria gives rise to protein -- and potentially target these processes in the design of new antibiotics -- researchers are turning their attention to the unique way ...

The nucleolus serves as the central hub for ribosomal DNA (rDNA) transcription and ribosome biogenesis, processes essential for protein synthesis and cellular proliferation. rDNA transcription is ...

Mitochondria possess their own mRNA translation system, mediated by specialized mitoribosomes. Dysregulation of mitochondrial translation disrupts metabolic homeostasis and is linked to various ...
