What do a human, a rose, and a bacterium have in common? Each of these things — along with every other organism on Earth — contains the molecular instructions for life, called deoxyribonucleic ...
The boundaries of computer technology are being redefined as biology merges with electronics. At the forefront of this ...
Purification removes contaminants from DNA samples, ensuring the integrity of the genetic material and providing more ...
During the early years of Levene's career, neither Levene nor any other scientist of the time knew how the individual nucleotide components of DNA were arranged in space; discovery of the sugar ...
Sunburn has traditionally been attributed to UV-induced DNA damage. However, a new study by the University of Copenhagen and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, reveals that RNA, another ...
Call it the science of small, but a trio of University of Florida chemical engineers have developed a lab-on-a-chip process ...
Determining which DNA components are passing through the pore requires very precise measurements. Of course, such a thing is hardly plug and play. First, the water samples needed reduction using ...
A recent study by researchers from Peking University demonstrates the potential of nuclear electric resonance to control the nuclear spins of nitrogen atoms in DNA using electric field gradients, ...
New research reveals that sunburn’s acute effects, like inflammation and cell death, are triggered by RNA damage rather than ...
A type of RNA, known as messenger RNA (mRNA), functions as the intermediate 'messenger' that carries information from DNA to make proteins—the basic building blocks of cellular components.
