For decades, biologists have known that the instructions for life are written in DNA, yet the vast majority of those letters seemed to sit in the dark, doing little that was obvious. Now a new ...

A DNA sequence code critical to our understanding of how human genes are turned on and off has just been unlocked by a team of scientists. Molecular biologists refer to this code as the “human ...

Remodelling of RNA structures by proteins such as the DEAD-box (DDX) RNA helicases regulates gene expression at various stages. The budding yeast helicase Dhh1 and its human counterpart DDX6 are known ...
