Researchers have revealed early conditions under which RNA and amino acids may have combined, giving rise to the origin of ...

For decades, the central dogma of molecular biology—DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, protein makes phenotype—was the guiding framework for understanding inheritance and disease. This model ...

Chemists at University College London have shown how two of biology's most fundamental ingredients, RNA (ribonucleic acid) ...

Over the last few years, scientists and entrepreneurs have flocked to developing medicines that target RNA, the genetic ...

Kinetoplastid DNA is organized into an incredible network of interlocked rings. By studying this amazing structure, how did scientists learn about RNA editing? The first tools developed for the ...

However, changes in RNA pol II affinity and, therefore, gene expression can be influenced by surrounding DNA sequences (enhancers), which in turn recruit transcription factors.

Researchers discovered a previously unknown function of RNA, potentially opening the door to new ways to treat cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
