DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, protein makes phenotype—was the guiding framework for understanding inheritance and disease ...

How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals ...

DNA may have mixed with RNA to produce the first life on Earth Key building blocks of DNA and RNA can be made from the same raw materials. This finding suggests that instead of one or the other ...

Researchers show that polymerase theta can efficiently convert RNA sequences back into DNA, a feat more common in viruses than eukaryotic cells. Editor's Note: Thomas Jefferson University issued ...

DNA and RNA are nucleic acids found in the nucleus of the cells in every living organism. Both nucleic acids participate in the coding, decoding, regulation and expression of genes. Lipid ...

What’s driving the RNA age is this molecule’s dazzling versatility. Yes, RNA can store genetic information, just like DNA. As a case in point, many of the viruses (from influenza to Ebola to ...
