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

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

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Since the discovery of the double-helical structure of DNA and postulation of the central dogma of molecular biology, stating that the flow of genetic information goes from DNA to RNA to protein ...

Examining the precise, molecular-level mechanisms involved in Cas binding to DNA, Wang and colleagues give the first mechanistic explanation of how a motor protein (RNA polymerase) removes a bound ...

Researchers have developed BigRNA, a groundbreaking deep learning model capable of predicting RNA behavior, including tissue-specific expression and splicing, directly from genomic DNA sequences ...
