Scientists have turned an old idea on its head. A new paper reports that stretches of so-called “junk DNA” can help injured ...

Despite being made from a relatively simple set of building blocks, ribonucleic acid (RNA) has a broad array of complex ...

By applying it to our freshwater samples, we could precisely quantify how quickly DNA and RNA faded, and compare their persistence under the same conditions. We also tested differences among RNA types ...

More than four billion years ago, Earth was a very different place. Pools of water froze and thawed in cycles, minerals ...

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are perhaps the most important molecules in cell biology, responsible for the storage and reading of genetic information that underpins all life.

Researchers unveil append editing, a method that attaches chemical tags to DNA, expanding possibilities in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology.

Scientists from the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research and collaborating institutions have developed a ...

Alan Herbert, InsideOutBio, discusses the significant advancements in RNA therapeutics, highlighting their role in supporting ...

A team from the University of Illinois has uncovered surprising evolutionary links between the genetic code and tiny protein ...

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are ...
