Researchers are embarking on the RNA equivalent of the Human Genome Project, including sequencing all the chemical ...

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are perhaps the most important molecules in cell biology, responsible for the storage and reading of genetic information that underpins all life.

The discovery of catalytic RNA transformed our understanding of life's beginnings. Clare Sansom explores how the RNA world ...

The sugar ribose is more quickly phosphorylated compared to other sugars with the same chemical formula but a different shape. This selective phosphorylation could explain how ribose became the sugar ...

Two separate laboratory breakthroughs have produced RNA molecules that can build copies of themselves or assemble functional structures without any help from proteins or DNA. These results offer the ...

DNA and RNA methylation, initially thought to operate as distinct pathways, have been shown to interact closely, shifting our understanding of gene regulation. A team of researchers from the ...

理化学研究所（理研）生命医科学研究センタートランスクリプトーム研究チームのアレッサンドロ・ボネッティ客員研究員、ピエロ・カルニンチチームリーダーらの研究チームは、細胞核内のRNAとゲノムDNA（クロマチン[1] ）の相互作用をゲノム全体で調べる ...

Nucleotide synthesis-the production of the basic components of DNA and RNA-is essential for cell growth and division.
