DNA’s chemical cousin, RNA, was the messenger that carries DNA instructions from the double helix in the cell’s nucleus to ...

The idea that tRNA was an adaptor molecule was first proposed by Francis Crick, co-discoverer of DNA structure, who did much of the key work in deciphering the genetic code (Crick, 1958).

MRNA is an important messenger, carrying the instructions for life from DNA to the rest of the cell. ktsimage/iStock via Getty Images Plus Here’s a crash course in just what mRNA is and the ...

With the discovery of the molecular structure of the DNA double helix in 1953, researchers turned to the structure of ribonucleic acid (RNA) as the next critical puzzle to be solved on the road to ...

Yale researchers have developed a new and safe family of RNA-editing tools that utilize an RNA-targeting activity that they ...

Scientists used IBM's R2 Heron quantum processor to predict the secondary protein structure of a 60-nucleotide-long mRNA sequence.

That’s where messenger RNA, or mRNA for short, comes in. Sections of the DNA code are transcribed into shortened messages that are instructions for making proteins. These messages – the mRNA – are ...

A detailed picture of what happens when DNA transcription is paused early in the process has been obtained by structural ...

The ability to correct disease-causing genetic mistakes using genome editors holds great promise in medicine, but it is not ...

mRNA plays a key role in the conversion of genetic information from DNA to proteins. Their production is a delicate process. A research team has now identified a crucial factor.
