A virus relies on the host's translation machinery to replicate itself and become infectious. Translation efficiency ...

Researchers say discoveries could expand the CRISPR toolbox and lead to more efficient, rapid diagnostic tools for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

Researchers uncovered a previously unknown CRISPR immune response in bacteria that targets transfer RNAs. The newly ...

The genetic information on DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) and translated to the amino acid sequence by transfer RNA (tRNA) on the ribosome. Modified nucleosides within RNA are involved ...

The structure of a key enzyme involved in protein production is revealed by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM). Using cryo-EM, researchers at Goethe University (Frankfurt, Germany) shed light on ...

Between 10 to 15% of all genetic diseases have the same underlying cause: a nonsense mutation. 1 This type of mutation results from a stop codon in the middle of a gene sequence, which terminates ...
