Mapping bacterial respiration with electrodes

Respiration is a near-ubiquitous bioenergetic process which uses electron transport chains (ETCs) to generate ATP, which subsequently supplied energy for the majority of cellular processes. Read more

Deep learning of nascent transcription dynamics to predict mature mRNA production

  Research Group: Molecular & Cell Biology
The production of mature messenger RNA (mRNA) from a human protein-coding gene is a highly regulated process involving transcription by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) and co-transcriptional RNA processing, including splicing and cleavage/polyadenylation. Read more
