We can already tinker with human DNA to treat diseases. But being able to edit RNA allows for even more precision – and fewer ...

Within all complex, multicellular living systems such as plants and humans, there exists a set of genetic elements that can ...

RNA’s Surprising Role in DNA Repair New insights could lead to improved treatments for cancer and other diseases. Francesca ...

Enzymes called RNA polymerases transcribe DNA into RNA. RNA is the intermediary that carries the information contained within DNA to the ribosomes, where the genetic information is synthesized into ...

Cells synthesise messenger RNA (mRNA) using instructions in DNA and then ‘read’ instructions from the mRNA to make functional ...

The DNA molecule encodes information ... With this in mind, Zidovska and her colleagues focused on RNA polymerase ...

C2H2 zinc finger proteins are the largest group of DNA-binding factors for transcription — the process of copying genetic information from DNA to messenger RNA (mRNA).

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-encoded RNA molecules undergo extensive processing to generate mature RNA, including removal of ...

During transcription, an enzyme called RNA polymerase binds to a gene's promoter region, unwinding the DNA and synthesizing a ...

Concurrent DNA and RNA sequencing revealed 15.3% more patients with actionable variants than DNA sequencing alone.

(p)ppGpp binds to RNA polymerase, promoting its backtracking and the recruitment of repair proteins to damaged DNA sites, ...

Cell-free DNA can be used for non-invasive cancer detection and disease monitoring to enhance personalized medicine.
