RNA purification is the foundation of virtually every downstream molecular biology application — from RT-qPCR and NGS library prep to in vitro transcription (IVT) for mRNA therapeutics. Yet despite ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists showed that bacterial RNA polymerase can read an eight-letter DNA alphabet containing four synthetic genetic letters.

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...

Scientists at Université de Montréal's Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer have developed a new database that integrates the molecular structure of microRNAs and messenger RNAs to ...

T ing Zhao, an assistant professor of molecular, cell, and systems biology at UC Riverside, has received a K01 Career Development Award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) to investigate how ...

A small number of random genetic mutations cause simple RNA droplets to transform into cell-like structures. In this process, they form cavities, can move and are able to take up cargo.

A new review argues that the slow clinical translation of RNA 5-methylcytosine cancer biomarkers stems from a lack of ...

Lund researchers linked ancient viral DNA to a silenced chimpanzee gene, while human organoid tests revealed a role in developing nerve-cell extensions.

A new study of microbial RNA in the blood of leukemia patients suggests that the circulating metatranscriptome may carry ...

Thymine suffers more UV damage than uracil in lab tests, but its damage pathways could help explain its place in DNA.
