Avani Dave, Jai Hind College Natural selection has evidently preserved several specific sites in the human genome that allow an atypical 3-D conformation of the DNA which are referred to as G-quadruplexes (G4s). A new study demonstrates an increased occurrence and high stability of these not-so-usual G-quadruplexes if they are situated either in the sequences […]
Ayooshi Mitra, Amity University Kolkata Transcription is a process that we often encounter while studying about gene expression. The transcription phase of gene expression allows the cells to live and do their jobs. We know that an enzyme called RNA polymerase wraps itself around the double helix of DNA during transcription. And using one strand […]
