DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

The chemical alphabet of RNA is also ... the structure of RNA occurs on multiple levels: nucleotide sequence (primary); intermediary structures that form when base pairs find their complements ...

Researchers have shown that differences in the entire rotavirus genome—not just its two surface proteins—affect how well ...

Biologically active RNAs, including transport, ribosomal and small nuclear RNA (tRNA, rRNA, snRNAs) fold into unique structures guided by complementary pairing between nucleotide bases.

Discover how an emerging technology called tRNA therapy could become the next big thing in genetic disease treatment.

Imagine creating a comprehensive, searchable index for a library containing hundreds of millions of books—a task that would ...

Could it be that one of only three known markers directly targeting the DNA does not exist outside the realm of microbes? Now ...

A new study led by researchers at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo has uncovered a surprising role for calcium in shaping life's earliest molecular structures.

This useful study presents computational analyses of over 5,000 predicted extant and ancestral nitrogenase structures. While the data and some analyses are solid, the study remains incomplete in ...

Our brain's remarkable ability to form and store memories has long fascinated scientists, yet most of the microscopic mechanisms behind memory and learning processes remain a mystery.

Single-cell imaging and mass spectrometry data reveal adenosine in the DNA of mammalian cells can be methylated by METTL3 to form N6-methyladenosine in response to DNA damage.

Researchers of ancient Egypt discovered “five identical structures near the Khafre Pyramid’s base, linked by pathways, and eight deep vertical wells descending 648 meters underground.” ...
