This manuscript has convincing data that provides a high-resolution structure of the Egl-RNA complex. The findings are important to understand the formation, stability, and interactions of this ...

Storing genetic material as DNA or RNA is all well and good for life on Earth, but it would be entirely pointless if we ...

When James Watson and Francis Crick described the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953, the moment appeared decisive and ...

From the food you eat to the way your cells function, biomolecules are at the heart of it all. Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids each play unique roles in energy, structure, and ...

Researchers at Umeå University have identified two human cell proteins, NUP98 and NUP153, that play a crucial role in how ...

The Breakthrough Prize Foundation awarded researchers involved in developing gene therapies for blindness and sickle cell ...

Prenatal oxycodone exposure changes how the placenta sends signals to the fetus. A new study revealed how alterations in the protein composition of placental small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) impact ...

Thioguanosine (shown as S in the sequence) is placed at nearby, non-complementary positions within a DNA duplex. When exposed to light or mild oxidants, the modified bases react to form a disulfide ...

Scientists developed a light-responsive artificial nucleic acid that enables reversible, controllable crosslinking within DNA, opening doors for nanomedicine, DNA nanotechnologies and drug delivery.

A new initiative, SynHG (synthetic Human Genome) will develop scalable tools and technologies for synthesising human genomes. This five-year research project marks a bold step forward in genomics. In ...
