Rosalind Franklin, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA -- that molecular blueprint for life -- over 70 years ago. Today, scientists are still uncovering new ways to read it.

Transcription initiation and elongation of HIV-1 are critical processes regulating viral latency and activation. Despite these two processes playing essential roles in HIV-1 gene expression, how they ...

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 ...

Transcription factors are the most powerful genes in our body. They are master regulators and have been implicated in our biggest diseases, even aging itself. Yet, many in the pharmaceutical industry ...
