Researchers have recovered and sequenced Mycobacterium lepromatosis genomes from 4,000-year-old human remains in Chile, ...

The 30S ribosomal subunit has a crucial role in decoding mRNA by monitoring base pairing between the codon on mRNA and the anticodon on transfer RNA; the 50S subunit catalyses peptide-bond formation.

Inside our cells, ribosomes—the tireless "protein factories" of life—have just shown off a new skill they haven't used in ...

Bacterial antisense RNAs target translation initiation regions (TIRs) to compete with ribosome binding, thus repressing translation and—secondarily—causing degradation of the naked mRNA. A new ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University and the Israel Institute for Biological Research in Ness Ziona have used the platform ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have solved a 60-year-old mystery in bacterial cell envelope ...

Scientists at Tel Aviv University and the Israel Institute for Biological Research have developed the first mRNA vaccine proven completely effective against deadly bacteria. This groundbreaking ...

A new state-of-the-art diagnostic test for animal African trypanosomiasis could detect sentinels of infection in domestic animals and aid control efforts.
