The human body's roughly 30 trillion cells don't need all of their genes switched on at once. Instead, cells tightly control the activity of their genes — and recently, scientists uncovered a ...

Researchers say they have developed a novel technique which, they claim, can determine for the first time how frequently, and exactly where, a molecular event called “backtracking” occurs throughout ...

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 new study ...

Backtracking, the reverse motion of the transcriptase enzyme on the nucleic acid template, is a universal regulatory feature of transcription in cellular organisms but its role in viruses is not ...
