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 ...

Cytosine is one of the four main nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA, along with adenine (A), guanine (G), and thymine (T) or uracil (U). It is a pyrimidine derivative, meaning it has a single-ring ...

This image illustrates the chemical structure of a purine molecule, highlighting the numbering of the carbon and nitrogen atoms. The purine structure consists of a pyrimidine ring (positions 1 to 6) ...

The DNA/RNA Dogma offers a more comprehensive and accurate picture of Mendel’s genes and our complexity. The new dogma now reads. DNA <—> RNA—> Control—> Protein—> Phenotype ...

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

Similar to the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres—regions of repetitive DNA sequences ...

The ability to correct disease-causing genetic mistakes using genome editors holds great promise in medicine, but it is not without risk. When this type of "genetic surgery" is performed on DNA, for ...
