This portion of mRNA is located between the first nucleotide that is transcribed and the start codon (AUG) of the coding region, and it does not affect the sequence of amino acids in a protein ...

One is a square or rectangle, and the other is a circle. A codon table is crucial for decoding an mRNA sequence into a chain ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed ...

Synthetic biologists from Yale were able to re-write the genetic code of an organism - a novel genomically recoded organism (GRO) with one stop codon - using a cellular platform that they developed ...

A research team from POSTECH has developed a biodegradable polymer-based delivery system that efficiently transports mRNA.

During translation, ribosomes can pause on the nucleic acid. Researchers showed that collisions from incoming proteins get ...

POSTECH Professor Won Jong Kim’s Team Develops a Next-Generation mRNA Vaccine Delivery System Using Biodegradable Polymers.

As the translation machinery carouses along the string of nucleotides that make up the mRNA, it recognizes them in groups of three, called codons. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid.

The candidate uses the same basic mRNA technology implemented in Moderna’s covid-19 vaccines to accomplish this. mRNA vaccines prompt the body’s cells to produce a target protein that’s then ...

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed into mRNA precursors, is correctly assembled into mature mRNA. Splicing is a ...
