DNA’s chemical cousin, RNA, was the messenger that carries DNA instructions from the double helix in the cell’s nucleus to ...

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

RNA-binding proteins use a dual binding mechanism involving zinc finger (ZnF) domains and intrinsically disordered regions ...

We found that RNA can actively guide the repair process of double-strand breaks. It does this by binding to broken DNA ends, helping align sequences of DNA on a matching strand that isn’t broken.

A deeper understanding of RNA’s role in DNA repair could lead to new strategies for strengthening repair mechanisms in healthy cells, potentially reducing the harmful effects of treatments like ...

MinION nanopore sequencers are the only portable, real-time devices for DNA and RNA sequencing, giving complete control and creativity over when, where and how often you sequence, regardless of ...

Over the last few years, scientists and entrepreneurs have flocked to developing medicines that target RNA, the genetic ...

Researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden published a paper that shows how certain RNA molecules control the repair of damaged DNA in cancer cells. The team, whose study (“ Small Cajal ...

The ability to correct disease-causing genetic mistakes using genome editors holds great promise in medicine, but it is not ...
