What if you could take a picture of every gene inside a living organism—not with light, but with DNA itself? Scientists at ...

When DNAse and RNAse (enzymes that degrade DNA and RNA, respectively ... cleavage and termination remains to be determined. One model supposes that cleavage itself triggers termination; another ...

Blum, B., Bakalara, N. & Simpson, L. A model for RNA editing in kinetoplastid mitochondria: RNA molecules transcribed from maxicircle DNA provide the edited information. Cell 60, 189–198 (1990).

Researchers have developed a new technique — volumetric DNA microscopy — that can create a spatial map of genetic sequences ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed the first-ever method of detecting ribonucleic acid, or RNA, ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...

Alternative splicing (AS) of pre-mRNA plays a crucial role in tissue-specific gene regulation, with disease implications due to splicing defects. Predicting and manipulating AS can therefore uncover ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

This discovery, along with the identification of other nitrogenous bases, laid the foundation for our understanding of DNA and RNA structure. Cytosine can be synthesized chemically or isolated from ...
