The theory holds that Gregor Mendel's concept of ... great majority of DNA into RNA. Humans copy at least 70% of our genome into RNA, vastly more than the 2% specifying protein.

Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such structure, the G-quadruplex (G4), looks like a knot.

An innovative new technique uses a novel DNA barcode system to track hundreds of RNA and protein molecules in single ... developed analysis methods that map where genes are expressed spatially ...

Examining the precise, molecular-level mechanisms involved in Cas binding to DNA, Wang and colleagues give the first mechanistic explanation of how a motor protein (RNA polymerase) removes a bound ...

have successfully formulated and delivered various forms of RNA as well as formulating proteins as drugs in several marketed products. However, developing such formulations using DNA has ...

Genetic information encoded in genomic DNA is transcribed to mRNAs and then the codons on mRNA are decoded by transfer RNAs (tRNAs) during protein synthesis. tRNAs deliver amino acids to ribosomes ...

Deamer pulled to the side of the road at that moment, scrawling in red ink the original concept for nanopore sequencing, a novel and revolutionary method of reading DNA and RNA. The name references ..

The RNA World Hypothesis is a concept put forth in the 1960s by Carl ... The hypothesis posists that DNA later became the genetic material as a result of evolution because RNA was a relatively ...

They accomplish this by editing their RNA—the messenger molecule between proteins and DNA. The team on this study ... but there wasn’t [any] systematic mapping and our first goal was to ...

Gene editing is traditionally done using CRISPR-Cas9 to make a physical change in the DNA. A guide RNA directs the Cas9 protein to a specific DNA location, where Cas9 completely severs the DNA ...

Scientists have known for over a decade that cephalopods are masters of RNA editing (SN: 5/19/23). DNA holds the instructions to make proteins, one of the key building blocks of the body.
