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.

Research on RNA diversity in human tissues, led by scientists from the New York Genome Center and the Broad Institute, is described in a recent study published in Nature. When the genetic code is ...

A new study shows how certain RNA molecules control the repair of damaged DNA in cancer cells, a discovery that could eventually give rise to better cancer treatments.

Explore the 5 key differences between DNA and RNA, including function, structure and location, with examples and insights from modern molecular biology.

Researchers have provided evidence that RNA segments can be written back into DNA, which potentially challenges the central dogma in biology and could have wide implications in biology.

Space is the ultimate stress test for the human body,” Catriona Jamieson, director of UC San Diego’s Sanford Stem Cell Institute, said. That stress, as new research reveals, imparts a molecular ...

Like DNA, RNA is a long chain of sugars. Sponk As well as serving as genetic material, RNA has another critical function in virtually all organisms: it acts as a messenger; a short-lived ...

Contrary to claims on social media, COVID-19 vaccines using messenger RNA (mRNA) technology do not transform recipients from humans into “hybrids,” nor do they alter human DNA through ...

Telomerase RNA component (TERC) is a long non-coding RNA that has been shown to extend telomere length in human stem cells.
