Breakthrough**RNase H is an exo- and endoribonuclease with asymmetric directionality, depending on the binding mode to the structural variants of RNA:DNA hybrids
When translation elongation is impaired, the mRNA is uniformly destabilized by the RNA degradosome, while the concentration of mRNA is altered along the molecule
Breakthrough**DeepBIO: an automated and interpretable deep-learning platform for high-throughput biological sequence prediction, functional annotation and visualization analysis
