If the number of bases removed or inserted from a segment of DNA is not a multiple of three (a), a different sequence with a different set of reading frames is transcribed to ...

Just like the mechanical components in cars or computers, the molecules inside a cell can sometimes malfunction. When this happens during DNA replication, the result is an unpredictable change in the ...

During elongation, the new RNA strand becomes longer and longer as the DNA template is transcribed.

During elongation, the new RNA strand becomes longer and longer as the DNA template is transcribed. In this view, the 5' end of the RNA strand is in the foreground. Note the inclusion of uracil (yello ...

How can you write data to DNA without changing the base sequence?

Zettabytes—that’s 10 21 bytes—of data are currently generated every year. All of those cat videos have to be stored somewhere, and DNA is a great storage medium; it has amazing data density and is ...

Researchers identify DNA activation code using artificial intelligence

Scientists have long known that human genes spring into action through instructions delivered by the precise order of our DNA, directed by the four different types of individual links, or "bases," ...
