Irvine, Calif., Jan. 9, 2025 — RNA is the molecule that reads the genetic information stored in DNA. It’s critical for the proper functioning of cells, and in a new study published in Nature ...

Ask a friend what DNA is and, chances are, they have a general idea. Seventy years after scientists discovered the two-stranded helix, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is widely understood as the keeper of ...

While evolution is often considered from a DNA- and protein-centric view, RNA-based regulation can also impact gene expression and protein sequences. Here we examine interspecies differences in ...

Two human cells making RNA made visible by the bioluminescent lantern in pink (middle image). On the left, the same cells making a fluorescent protein that's distributed evenly throughout the two ...

Transcription is a discontinuous process characterized by short bursts and long inter-burst silent periods 4,5. Decoding the origin and circuits of burst signals is crucial for understanding the ...

High-resolution structures explain the mechanism of human PNPase and provide insights into mutations causing hereditary hearing loss and neurological disease. Researchers at the Department of Cell and ...
