RNA droplets can concentrate the molecule with no membrane at all, and a single oxygen atom sets how much heat it takes to ...

Scientists have identified a previously unrecognized layer of the human genome. It’s built not ...

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...

An essential cellular enzyme successfully transcribed synthetic DNA letters, bringing expanded genetic codes closer to biological use.

Despite being made from a relatively simple set of building blocks, ribonucleic acid (RNA) has a broad array of complex responsibilities. From providing structure to carrying the instructions for ...

A molecular illustration of the crowded interior and cell envelope of Escherichia coli. (David S. Goodsell, The Scripps Research Institute) To replicate information, life usually has fairly ...

RNA molecules carry instructions from DNA for making proteins that carry out much of the work of living cells. Knowing where these molecules are located in complex tissues is a critical part of ...

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA double ...

A DNA-guided CRISPR platform could make RNA detection and control more stable, scalable, and precise, opening new routes for diagnostics, transcriptome engineering, and future therapeutic research.
