The interior of a cell is packed with proteins and nucleic acids, such as RNA, all of which need to perform specific ...

Jonathan Henninger, an assistant professor of biological sciences, is part of a growing movement in the life sciences exploring how ribonucleic acid, known as RNA, can be harnessed to develop ...

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is a powerful tool in diagnosing Mendelian disorders, but the optimized sequencing depth for this technology has not yet ...

A study found that covid-19 vaccines appeared to awaken the immune system in lung and skin cancer patients, helping them live ...

New tech reveals findings that address long-standing theories about how bacteria begin the process of making RNA from DNA. Every living cell transcribes DNA into RNA. This process begins when an ...

RNA Polymerase (shown in blue) moves across a template strand of DNA (shown in purple) and transcribes it into RNA (shown in red). But DNA damage blocks the RNA polymerase, causing it to stall and ...

They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.

LA JOLLA (March 4, 2024)—Charles Darwin described evolution as "descent with modification." Genetic information in the form of DNA sequences is copied and passed down from one generation to the next.

A new method to detect ribonucleic acid (RNA) without needing any complex lab procedures or heating equipment has been ...

Two new research papers from the Living Brain Project at Mount Sinai present what is, by several metrics, the largest ...
