An NIGMS-funded study used single-molecule fluorescent imaging to trace the role of reverse transcriptase in real time.

The new comprehensive resource, EcoliHub, provides a single point of entry to information on the K-12 strain of the bacterium. 

Using fruit flies, NIGMS-funded researchers studied molecules that have a role in maintaining energy balance in humans as well.

By blocking a brain enzyme in mice, NIGMS-funded researchers reduced the animals' appetite and their weight.

NIGMS-funded researchers discovered that centrosomes contain RNA that suggests these organelles were incorporated into cells by symbiosis.

NIGMS-funded chemists have created glow-in-the-dark zebrafish whose cell-surface carbohydrates are tagged with dyes, a technique that can be used to track development.
