Some bacteria use CRISPR-like tools to switch genes on
Researchers have found that certain bacteria carry a naturally occurring system, built from repurposed CRISPR components, that switches genes on rather than cutting or silencing DNA. The discovery, ...
Researchers revealed a CRISPR system that activates gene expression rather than cutting DNA, using RNA-guided targeting. The ...

Cap-snatching: the influenza virus's strategy
A microscopic sleight of hand is employed by the influenza virus: a discreet strategy that allows it to deceive the cells it ...
How the intricate molecular machinery of life arose from simple beginnings has been a long-standing question. Several lines of evidence point towards a primordial "RNA world," where an "RNA copy ...
Researchers at Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, IMDEA Nanoscience (Madrid, Spain) and CNB-CSIC (Madrid, Spain) report in ACS Nano experiments that reveal a cycle of ...
Every living cell transcribes DNA into RNA. This process begins when an enzyme called RNA polymerase (RNAP) clamps onto DNA. Within a few hundred milliseconds, the DNA double helix unwinds to form a ...
Scientists at IOCB Prague are uncovering new details of gene transcription. They have identified a previously unknown molecular mechanism by which the transcription of genetic information from ...
