DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

Gene expression is linked to RNA transcription, which cannot happen without RNA polymerase. However, this is where the similarities between prokaryote and eukaryote expression end. Central to the ...

All five nucleobases that make up DNA and RNA have now been detected in meteorite samples, according to a study published yesterday (April 26) in Nature Communications. The work used recently ...

This diagram depicts the chemical structure of pyrimidine, a six-membered aromatic ring with two nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3 (highlighted in blue). The remaining positions are occupied by ...

New biochemistry for RNA at low temperatures RNA is formed by linking molecules of ribose (a monosaccharide) with phosphate ...

Alternative RNA splicing is similar to a movie editor cutting and rearranging scenes from the same video to produce distinct versions of a film. By deciding which sequences to keep and which to ...

Water shortens the shelf life of DNA. Biosample integrity is questionable for samples stored in a wet environment owing to the persistent risk of DNA hydrolysis, even at low temperature.

According to Prof. Göpfrich, the nanotubes are another step toward building synthetic cells. The researchers tested the RNA origami in a lipid vesicle, a simple cell model system widely used in ...
