This narrated animation illustrates the process of protein synthesis, starting with chromosomal DNA inside the cell's nucleus. A gene is transcribed into messenger RNA, which leaves the nucleus and ...

The attachment of sugar molecules to proteins is one of the most common protein modifications, found in all domains of life. Sugars attached to proteins are called glycans, and modulate the ...

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 ...

How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

Proteins are essential biological molecules that perform a vast array of functions crucial for life, from catalyzing ...

With GROVER, a new large language model trained on human DNA, researchers could now attempt to decode the complex information hidden in our genome. GROVER treats human DNA as a text, learning its ...

New research published in Nature Communications has linked a normal cellular process to an accumulation of DNA mutations in ...
