A collaborative study by scientists at the University of California, Riverside, and University of Southern California reports ...

When a gene is expressed, its DNA sequence is transcribed into a molecule known as RNA. Then the cell processes and edits ...

“This suggests that longer-lived species may have evolved molecular programs that optimize splicing for longevity, allowing ...

Mármol and his colleagues extracted RNA sequences from the muscles and skin of 10 permafrozen woolly mammoth specimens found across Northeastern Siberia. Analysis of one specimen, a juvenile mammoth ...

Life's instructions are written in DNA, but it is the enzyme RNA polymerase II (Pol II) that reads the script, transcribing ...

Scientists have successfully sequenced RNA belonging to a 40,000-year-old woolly mammoth. Not only do the findings shed light ...

Scientists successfully sequence the RNA from woolly mammoths found in Siberia that lived up between 10,000 thousand and 50,000 years ago.

Scientists examine the mummified remains of a 39,000-year-old mammoth nicknamed Yuka, whose tissue yielded ancient RNA in a ...

RNA is the molecule that reads the genetic information stored in DNA. It’s critical for the proper functioning of cells, and in a new study published in Nature Communications, University of California ...

Ask a friend what DNA is and, chances are, they have a general idea. Seventy years after scientists discovered the two-stranded helix, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is widely understood as the keeper of ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising mechanism by which a brain enzyme called OTULIN controls the expression of tau, the ...
