Apart from carrying the information to encode proteins in, RNA molecules can adopt intricate 2D and 3D structures.

What made ribose the sugar of choice for life's code? Scientists at Scripps Research may have cracked a major part of this ...

In living organisms today, complex molecules like RNA and DNA are constructed with the help of enzymes. So how did these molecules form before life (and enzymes) existed? Why did some molecules end up ...

Stressed DNA sets off a cascade of failures in the body linked to heart conditions, neurodegeneration, and chronic inflammation. A new, UCR-designed tool interrupts this process, preserving DNA before ...
