Life's instructions are written in DNA, but it is the enzyme RNA polymerase II (Pol II) that reads the script, transcribing ...

Elongation: RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template strand, reading the nucleotide sequence and adding complementary RNA ...

Nano-tRNAseq is based on nanopore sequencing, a technology that can directly sequence individual RNA molecules by passing them through a small pore. Each of the nucleotides that compose an RNA ...

In two experiments, researchers have found that introducing people to "mental models" about how mRNA vaccination works and ...

Scientists may have a step forward in understanding how life on our planet came to exist. The mystery of how tiny molecules of RNA came to be enclosed within membranes, forming the very first cells, ...

Researchers from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden published a paper that shows how certain RNA molecules control the repair of damaged DNA in cancer cells. The team, whose study (“Small Cajal ...

RNA molecules carry instructions from DNA for making proteins that carry out much of the work of living cells. Knowing where these molecules are located in complex tissues is a critical part of ...

NIMS, in collaboration with Nagoya University, Gifu University, and the University of Adelaide, has developed a method for simultaneously imaging DNA and RNA inside cells using harmless infrared to ...
