Researchers have shown that translation of the genetic information stored in our DNA is much more complex than previously thought. This discovery was made by developing a type of advanced microscopy ...

Knowledge of the 3D structures of biological molecules can reveal the fine details of how the molecules perform their biological functions. The principal experimental techniques for determining 3D ...

In order for the body to produce proteins to perform countless functions for daily maintenance, messenger RNA (mRNA) must be transcribed from the genetic information contained in DNA, and then the ...

New research from the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery is tackling a complex packing problem. Thanks to the development of a powerful new computational tool introduced in a study published in the ...

DNA isn't just a long string of genetic code, but an intricate 3D structure folded inside each cell. That means the tools ...

The microscopic world of cells and bacteria is incredibly important to understand, but tricky to study in detail, especially without harming the subjects. Researchers at EPFL have now developed a new ...
