How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA.

A new method for mapping torsion provides insights into the ways that the genome responds to the torsion generated by RNA polymerase II.
