In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell ...

Other elements found in the 5′ UTR and coding regions also modulate transcript ... in all cells progresses from DNA to messenger RNA to protein. Even for genes with the simplest form of ...

Late-onset Alzheimer's disease is a debilitating, progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects about 7 million Americans, a figure that is expected to nearly double by 2050, according to the ...

Deep sequencing has revealed thousands of eukaryotic protein-coding genes that defy the central dogma, producing circular noncoding RNAs rather than linear messenger RNAs. For some genes, the ...

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages ... The enzyme RNA polymerase attaches to the DNA in a non-coding region just before the gene. RNA polymerase moves along the DNA strand.
