mRNA is the most variable class of RNA, and there are literally thousands of different mRNA molecules present in a cell at any given time. Some mRNA molecules are abundant, numbering in the ...

The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But where does translation take place within a cell?

Bin Wu, associate professor in the department of Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry at the School of Medicine, visited ...

For the first time ever, researchers have captured a real-time molecular movie to show how two essential cellular processes—transcription and translation—interact with each other in bacteria.

the DNA into mRNA. In prokaryotes, which lack a distinct nucleus and internal membrane boundaries, transcription and ...

We found that inclusion or exclusion of the 3′UTR of an mRNA that encodes a transcription factor did not change how ... we found that the cytoplasm is highly compartmentalized into different ...

This process of protein synthesis occurs in two stages - transcription and translation. When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA).

2 Located throughout the pre-mRNA are short, cis-acting motifs consisting of five to six nucleotides that are binding sites for RBP, which act in trans. 1,8 “When an exon that is alternatively spliced ...
