The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But where does translation take place within a cell?

Translation is the process by which a protein is synthesized from the information contained in a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA). During translation, an mRNA sequence is read using the genetic ...

During the oocyte-to-embryo transition (OET), the length of the mRNA poly(A) tail is closely linked to its translational ...

In this review of RNA therapies, we paint an overview of what’s going on in a field that is addressing a number of diseases.

The CmdT modification of GA sequences in mRNA blocks their translation. The cessation of creating new proteins aborts the ...

In the course of these studies, we found that 3′UTRs determine where in the cytoplasm an mRNA transcript is translated. Moreover, we found that the cytoplasm is highly compartmentalized into different ...

Researchers mapped HIV-1’s translation strategy, revealing RNA elements like uORFs, iORFs and an intricate frameshift site ...

Translation is the biological process where genetic information is used to build proteins. The following is a simplified account of how this occurs. DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA).

Mitoribosomes are present in the mitochondria of all eukaryotic cells. Their function is to allow the translation of mitochondrial mRNA that exclusively encodes components of the oxidative ...

In this valuable study, Roiuk et al employed a combination of ribosome profiling and reporter assays to provide convincing evidence that eIF2A is not involved in translational regulation in cultured ...
