In a study published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, scientists from the Department of Medical Biochemistry and ...

All biological function is dependent on how different proteins interact with each other. Protein-protein interactions ...

Nematodes have oily surfaces that impact survival and interactions, offering insights into evolution and parasite control. A ...

Yibin Kang, a professor in the Department of Molecular Biology, discussed new breast cancer research in his lab.

These sequences can easily move around the genome and alter DNA sequences, sometimes in positive and sometimes in negative ways. But sdg-1 is also found within a jumping gene, creating a kind of ...

From Nigeria to England, to Germany to the U.S., Prof. Zeribe Nwosu journeyed around the globe in pursuit of academic experiences that shaped his approach to research, mentorship and outreach.

UCC’s Dr Yensi Flores Bueso overcame institutional and societal challenges to develop a successful career in cancer research.

By treating DNA as a language, Brian Hie’s “ChatGPT for genomes” could pick up patterns that humans can’t see, accelerating ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts.

John Bertram Reinitz, a professor in the Departments of Statistics, Ecology and Evolution, Molecular Genetics & Cell Biology ...

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 ...
