  • Self-splicing RNA circularization facilitated by intact group I and II introns

    Self-splicing RNA circularization facilitated by intact group I and II introns

    PIE can begin with the second step of the transesterification process

    Group I introns, which are self-splicing ribozymes, enable RNA splicing without protein assistance, functioning through a two-step transesterification reaction that requires…

  • Scientists just uncovered three ancient worlds frozen beneath Illinois for 300 million years

    Scientists just uncovered three ancient worlds frozen beneath Illinois for 300 million years

    More than 300 million years ago, during the Carboniferous Period, much of northern Illinois outside Chicago — including what is now the Mazon Creek (“muh-ZAHN”) fossil site — was alive with ancient creatures thriving in lush, tropical swamps,…

  • A 16-million-year-old amber fossil just revealed the smallest predator ant ever found

    A 16-million-year-old amber fossil just revealed the smallest predator ant ever found

    Wherever there’s dirt there’s bound to be ants, but one particular group is so adept at blending in with the ground that they hold the name “dirt ant” (Basiceros) all to themselves.

    Now, an ancient fossil has revealed these elusive ants have seen…

  • New insights into how MYOD controls muscle repair and regeneration

    New insights into how MYOD controls muscle repair and regeneration

    For more than 30 years, scientists have studied how the myogenic determination gene number 1 (MYOD) protein binds DNA to modify the gene expression of muscle stem cells. Similar to the instant kung fu education Keanu Reeves…

  • All-atom models reveal novel protein misfolding mechanism

    All-atom models reveal novel protein misfolding mechanism

    New computer simulations that model every atom of a protein as it folds into its final three-dimensional form support the existence of a recently identified type of protein misfolding. Proteins must fold into precise…
