Could DNA be glycosylated? A new study published in Engineering explores this intriguing question, suggesting that DNA might undergo glycosylation, a process that could revolutionize our understanding ...

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...

DNA holds our genetic blueprints, but its cousin, RNA, conducts our daily lives I n 1957, just four years after Francis Crick ...

Of course, the first life was much simpler, and life’s precursor simpler still—for example, self-replicating RNA molecules of the RNA-world hypothesis.

RNA polymerase motors down the DNA chain, reading the code of DNA "letters" as it transcribes instructions into RNA molecules, which then direct protein building.

Next up was determining if RNA polymerase, an enzyme for making RNA molecules from DNA codes, could navigate the extensive folds of DNA origami, Henderson said. A particular concern was whether ...

Unexpected slowdowns or spikes in this signal were often interpreted as knots in DNA. But now, a new study published Aug. 12 ...

Chemists at University College London have shown how two of biology's most fundamental ingredients, RNA (ribonucleic acid) ...

We mapped the human genome decades ago, but most of it is still a black box. Now, UNSW scientists have developed a tool to peer inside and what they find could reshape how we think about disease.
