A new method developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions allows researchers to better understand ...

The startup is developing “modified DNA” therapies it claims can combine the strengths of multiple approaches, from messenger ...

Thanks to a serendipitous discovery and a lot of painstaking work, scientists can now build biohybrid molecules that combine the homing powers of DNA with the broad functional repertoire of proteins - ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. There is still a great deal unknown about RNA and its modifications. Christoph Burgstedt/Science Photo Library via Getty Images ...

A principle of DNA synthesis that has dominated biology textbooks for decades could be upended. An enzyme has been discovered ...

How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered an unexpected role for a well-known cancer-related protein, revealing a new layer of genetic regulation that could reshape how certain cancers are ...

In the early 1980s, David Gilmour, now an emeritus biochemistry and molecular biology professor at Pennsylvania State University, joined the laboratory of geneticist and biochemist John Lis as a ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...
