Scientists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology have recreated how RNA might have first replicated itself on ...

Viruses are entities that have to infect other cells in order to replicate. They may have genomes that are made of DNA or RNA. We are still discovering new types of RNA viruses, as shown in two new ...

mRNA is the most heterogeneous of the 3 types of RNA in terms of both base sequence and size. It carries complementary genetic code copied, from DNA during transcription, in the form of triplets ...

By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaA recent study in Nature Communications investigated how pre-analytical factors affect the ...

DNA is found in the nucleus, with a small amount of DNA also present in mitochondria. RNA forms in the nucleolus, and then moves to specialized regions of the cytoplasm depending on the type of RNA ...

New research reveals that sunburn may be caused by RNA damage, not DNA, challenging long-held beliefs about UV exposure ...

Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) polymerase is an intermediary enzyme responsible for processing gene sequences into RNA-based genetic material that can be utilized in protein synthesis. In this article, we ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation ... After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are ...
