Among the major classes of RNAs in the cell, tRNAs remain the most difficult to characterize via deep sequencing approaches, as tRNA structure and nucleotide modifications can each interfere with cDNA ...

Tda1 protein kinase, activated by Snf1 and yeast GSK3-β, fine-tunes metabolism through the phosphorylation of Hxk2, which is implicated in yeast glucose repression. Tda1 is activated by both Snf1 and ...

Fungi may not seem like an obvious power source, but researchers have proven they can offer a sustainable and renewable way ...

A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine provides insights into how cells maintain the tiny end caps of chromosomes as they divide, a key process in keeping cells healthy.

Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer. Although less common, it is the most serious due to its high potential ...

In all, they collected data that covers about 3.4 miles (5.4 kilometers) of neuronal wiring in a part of the brain that processes visual information from the eyes. Listen to Story They worked out the ...

The scientists used baker’s yeast — a simple organism used in bread ... genes whose sudden inactivation disrupted the mitochondria’s structure or energy production capacity. “The cell is constantly ...

Researchers say they have mapped more than 200,000 cells in a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and have traced how they're ...

However, the plasmid present in many yeast species does not provide any known benefit to yeast cells, but still has mastered the art of survival for many generations, earning the term “selfish” DNA.
