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

As aging progresses, the quality of DNA and proteins inside cells declines, which is known to be the cause of various ...

The ability to correct disease-causing genetic mistakes using genome editors holds great promise in medicine, but it is not without risk. When this type of "genetic surgery" is performed on DNA, for ...

Researchers at San Diego State University and Michigan State University are shedding new light on how viruses meticulously ...

A team of doctors and researchers has used artificial intelligence (AI) to develop what they claim could be a new way to more ...

The collaboration will explore RNA-based small molecule drug candidates aimed at neurological conditions where existing ...

As aging progresses, the quality of DNA and proteins inside cells declines, known to be the cause of various degenerative ...

The Vutara VXL is a benchtop optical microscope that's been optimized specifically for single-molecule localization. It uses ...

Similar to the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres—regions of repetitive DNA sequences ...

RNA is a crucial linchpin of many cellular activities, including the process by which genetic material is expressed as proteins. The more scientists study RNA, the more surprises they continue to ...

Transfer RNA (tRNA) then carries the appropriate amino acids into the ribosome for inclusion in the new protein. Meanwhile, the ribosomes themselves consist largely of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules.

A gene identified more than 30 years ago has now revealed its role as a natural microRNA (miRNA) sponge to fine-tune the ...
