Viruses attack nearly every living organism on Earth. To do so, they rely on highly specialized proteins that recognize and bind to receptors on the surface of target cells, a molecular arms race that ...

Figure 1. Dual binding patterns of MBD proteins in mammals and in C. elegans.In mammals (left), previous studies show that most MBD3 binding sites ...

In biology classrooms, we often learn that genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins—a tidy, linear process. But gene expression in living cells is far more intricate, ...
