DNA holds our genetic blueprints, but its cousin, RNA, conducts our daily lives I n 1957, just four years after Francis Crick ...

After decades of speculation, researchers have demonstrated that a classical DNA repair enzyme also binds to RNA, affecting blood cell development.

Function DNA encodes all genetic information, and is the blueprint from which all biological life is created. And that’s only in the short-term. In the long-term, DNA is a storage device, a biological ...

Could DNA be glycosylated? A new study published in Engineering explores this intriguing question, suggesting that DNA might undergo glycosylation, a process that could revolutionize our understanding ...

The versatile RNA-degradation functions of the RNA exosome complex make it crucial for RNA biogenesis. It is now emerging that the nuclear exosome is a specific regulator of gene expression in ...

Messenger RNA molecules carry the genetic information from the DNA in the nucleus of the cell to the cytoplasm where the proteins are made. Messenger RNA acts as the messenger to build proteins.

Biochemists have developed a new strategy for controlling the biological functions of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) by means of light and therefore provide a tool to investigate processes which take ...
