Bacteria and other single-celled microorganisms in the seas around Antarctica are strongly influenced by water temperature ...

In addition to exporting materials out of the nucleus, the protein, called Exportin-1 (also called Xpo1 or Crm1), seems to play a role in promoting gene transcription, the process that creates RNA ...

Every day, billions of cells in your body divide, helping to replace old and injured cells with new ones. And each time this ...

Researchers from Northwestern University have stumbled upon a previously unobserved function of a protein found in the cell ...

and the researchers found that bacterial transposons (versus eukaryotes) use unique mechanisms to control the telomeres. Transposons are usually flanked by protein-binding sequences that indicate ...

Scientists' yearlong study on Antarctic microbial communities reveals how climate change alters bacterial and phytoplankton ...

A new method for mapping torsion provides insights into the ways that the genome responds to the torsion generated by RNA polymerase II.
