A new study in Nature has mapped, at atomic resolution, how the enzyme DICER slices precursor microRNAs at exactly the right ...
A research team from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has made an advance in understanding the molecular machinery of RNA silencing. The team uncovered how the human enzyme ...
In yeast cells, shown here, the Dicer protein protects DNA (bright blue) by helping to resolve conflicts between transcription and replication. If left unchecked, these conflicts can disrupt both ...
