Watch as DNA becomes protein in the process of protein synthesis.

It has long been accepted that a gene's protein-coding information is contained in only one of its two DNA strands. But in 22 February Nature, Victor Corces and co-workers at the Department of Biology ...

During translation, which is the second major step in gene expression, the mRNA is "read" according to the genetic code, which relates the DNA sequence to the amino acid sequence in proteins ...

There are long repeats of the sequence TTAGGG in telomeres, and at the ends of telomeres, the DNA forms loops and tiny circles that block chromosomes from fusing together. These sequences have long ...
