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 ...
Using a novel method, Weizmann Institute of Science researchers map 16 types of simultaneous changes in dozens of samples; ...
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 ...
More than four billion years ago, Earth was a very different place. Pools of water froze and thawed in cycles, minerals shaped reactions, and molecules bumped into each other by chance. Out of this ...
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 ...
