About 95 % of human genes can produce different RNAs through a process called 'alternative splicing'. If you have ever read about cells, genes or DNA, you must have heard about RNA also. Chemically, ...

For decades, the central dogma of molecular biology—DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, protein makes phenotype—was the guiding framework for understanding inheritance and disease. This model explained ...

SANTA CRUZ, CA — Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have determined the three-dimensional structure of an RNA enzyme, or “ribozyme,” that carries out a fundamental reaction ...

DNA and RNA methylation, initially thought to operate as distinct pathways, have been shown to interact closely, shifting our understanding of gene regulation. A team of researchers from the ...

RNA interference is a natural mechanism for living cells to control whether specific genes are being used or not.

The same family of artificial intelligence that powers today's image generators is now being aimed at one of biology's ...

RNA’s Surprising Role in DNA Repair New insights could lead to improved treatments for cancer and other diseases. Francesca Storici and her research team discovered a surprising role for RNA in DNA ...

A DNA-guided CRISPR platform could make RNA detection and control more stable, scalable, and precise, opening new routes for diagnostics, transcriptome engineering, and future therapeutic research.

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA double ...
