RNA Polymerase (shown in blue) moves across a template strand of DNA (shown in purple) and transcribes it into RNA (shown in red). But DNA damage blocks the RNA polymerase, causing it to stall and ...
Researchers have discovered that in thale cresses histone H3 lysine-9 (H3K9) methylation, conventionally thought to be a mark of turning off gene transcription, can also turn on gene expression via ...

Cancer’s most notorious protein MYC quietly repairs tumor DNA damage behind the scenes — scientists say blocking the trick could multiply what chemo already does
Chemotherapy drugs are designed to shatter tumor DNA so thoroughly that cancer cells cannot survive. But one of the most ...
A cell protein previously believed only to provide a scaffolding for DNA has also been shown to directly influence DNA transcription into RNA – the first step of the process by which an organism's ...
Every living cell must interpret its genetic code - a sequence of chemical letters that governs countless cellular functions. A new study by researchers from the Center for Theoretical Biological ...
When the molecular machinery in our cells gets to work transcribing the genetic information encoded in DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA), it pauses shortly after starting. Known as promoter-proximal ...

Cancer’s most notorious protein MYC also quietly repairs tumor DNA damage — blocking the trick could make chemotherapy far deadlier to cells it targets
For decades, oncologists have watched a frustrating pattern repeat itself. Tumors fueled by the MYC protein, one of the most ...
Thanks to a first-of-its-kind platform, we are starting to understand how the molecular engine responsible for transcription in mammals controls its speed. A team of researchers from The Rockefeller ...
