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 ...

The free complementary bases quickly joined with this RNA in a process called hybridization. Double strands of three to five base pairs in length formed and remained stable for several hours.

New research published in Nature has uncovered powerful evidence that may explain why a new chemical modification of RNA is made in cells.

DNA And RNA Bases, "Missing" Building Blocks Of Life On Earth, Found On Meteorites The missing essential nucleobases cytosine and thymine have been found in meteorites for the first time.

Scientists have used an optical trap to track the movement of RNA polymerase (RNAP), showing that the enzyme appears to shift along DNA one base pair at a time. Although many experts had expected this ...

The CRISPR–Cas13 system has wide clinical applications, such as diagnostics for RNA viruses, RNA imaging, RNA-base editing, RNA epigenome editing, and therapeutic interventions.

RNA editing is positioned to be a breakthrough modality for multiple medicines. “We are incorporating proven components from other modalities for mechanism of action, administration ...
