Hosted by the Department of Molecular Biology, Cell Biology and Biochemistry, the event is held on a near-annual basis to ...

Samuel H. Sternberg was recognized for discovering programmable, RNA-guided enzymes from mobile genetic elements.

A technique can determine for the first time how frequently, and exactly where, a molecular event called 'backtracking' occurs throughout the genetic material (genome) of any species. A technique can ...

To function properly, the genetic material is highly organized into loop structures that often bring together widely separated sections of the genome critical to the regulation of gene activity.

Epigenetic silencing governs key biological processes, from flowering time in plants to preventing uncontrolled cell growth ...

Gene regulation is the process by which cells control the expression of their genes, determining when, where, and to what extent each gene is expressed. It is a fundamental mechanism that allows cells ...

Every cell in our body starts out with the same set of genetic instructions, or DNA. Yet only some of these genes are expressed in each cell, leading to the production of proteins that perform the ...

Recent advancements in glycobiology have challenged the traditional understanding of molecular interactions, and a new study ...

This intensive laboratory course applies a through line to each learned technique, so that while the student learns pivotal hands on skills (and their scientific principles) to make them viable in the ...
