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

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

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

A detailed picture of what happens when DNA transcription is paused early in the process has been obtained by structural ...

CRISPR is a technology that can be used to edit genes and, as such, will likely change the world. The essence of CRISPR is simple: it’s a way of finding a specific bit of DNA inside a cell. After that ...

Federal funding cuts to mRNA technology research doesn't just impact COVID vaccines — experts say it could stall progress in ...

Messenger RNA vaccines, or mRNA, differ from traditional ones. Instead of growing a virus and weakening it to allow the body to engage its natural defenses, mRNA vaccines use pieces of genetic code to ...

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

Banerjee is also exploring RNA’s role in the origin of life, thanks to a seed grant from the Hypothesis Fund. He is studying whether biomolecular condensates may have protected RNA’s functions as ...
