Chemist Anne Lüscher showed at 39C3 how synthetic DNA can be used for data storage and tamper-proof authentication.

Inosine is a nucleoside that occurs naturally in transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and is essential for proper RNA translation. It is commonly found at the wobble position of anticodons, allowing for greater ...

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have shed valuable light on the nuanced functions and intricate regulatory methods of RNA editing, a critical mechanism underlying brain ...

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...

Proteins are essential biological molecules that perform a vast array of functions crucial for life, from catalyzing ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...
