Scientists at the University of Toronto studying the hermaphroditic worm Caenorhabditis elegans found that amyloid-like ...

The central dogma of molecular biology suggests that the primary role of RNA is to convert the information stored in DNA into proteins. In reality, there is much more to the RNA story. However ...

DNA isn’t the only decorated nucleic acid in the cell. Modifications to RNA molecules are much more common and are critical for regulating diverse biological processes. For years, researchers ...

The system requires the use of Biosynthesis’s Blood RNA Preservative Tubes for blood collection and RNA stabilization, followed by RNA purification using spin column chromatography based on ...

These nucleotides can then be further processed to form the pyrimidine bases found in DNA and RNA. The pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway is tightly regulated to ensure the proper balance of nucleotides ...

RNA is often compared to a copy from a reference book, or a template, because it carries the same information as its DNA template but is not used for long-term storage. Each ribonucleotide base ...

New research pioneered by The University of Western Australia is shedding light on the intricate dance between proteins, DNA ...

Because RNAs are so central to our biology, they are also drivers of a wide array of diseases. Defects in how RNA is produced ...

In DNA and RNA, purines pair with their complementary pyrimidine bases ... GTP is also a substrate for the synthesis of RNA during transcription. Purine metabolism involves the synthesis and breakdown ...

While much focus has been placed on genetic mutations in the DNA, recent research has pointed to the importance of post-transcriptional modifications, which are chemical changes made to RNA ...
