Emerging Research: Gene Silencing

Scientists have known for some time that protein production can be disrupted by preventing the protein-coding instructions of messenger RNA from reaching the ribosomes, which are the sites of protein synthesis. If a gene cannot send its code, the protein cannot be... Continue Reading

Emerging Research: BioControl

Non-native plant species are often successful in new environments due to a lack of natural predators. Occasionally scientists are able to identify an invasive species natural predator and intentionally release them in the hope of curbing the invasive species... Continue Reading
