Every gene found in our DNA exerts its action via the activity of its encoded protein product. However, the synthesis of the protein cannot take place directly from the gene. An intermediate messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule is first produced from the gene via a process...
Computational methods and tools to analyze ribosome profiling data.
Somewhere in a jumble of protein building blocks may lie the key to unlocking the next generation of therapeutics to improve human health.
While it might not feel like it, the cells in our body are under constant stress. Cellular exposure to stress such as UV radiation contributes to DNA lesions that the cell responds to by initiating DNA repair pathways. If these lesions are not dealt with, mutations...

In vitro and metabolic RNA labeling approaches and their applications.
In this WIREs RNA review, the authors discuss the role of different miRNAs controlling yield-related quantitative traits in rice.
The nonsense‐mediated mRNA decay pathway selects and degrades its targets using a dense network of RNA‐protein and protein–protein interactions.
Upon viral infection, a tug of war is triggered between host cells and viruses to gain control of vital cellular functions.
Hundreds of RNA‐binding proteins and their associated RNAs have been revealed, which enables the large‐scale prediction of RNA–protein interactions using machine learning methods.
