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 ...

As Storici and other researchers continue probing RNA’s effects in DNA repair, their revelations could have a lasting impact on human health and evolution. That means better gene therapies, new cancer ...

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 ...

By predicting how proteins interact with RNA and DNA, AlphaFold 3 could dramatically accelerate discovery of new drugs, better antibiotics, more effective vaccines.

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

Sunburn has traditionally been attributed to UV-induced DNA damage. However, a new study reveals that RNA, another vital cellular molecule, plays a major role in triggering acute sunburn reactions.
