Liquid RNA· DNA hybridization with separated strands of adenovirus type 2 DNA revealed that late nuclear RNA can hybridize to about 85% of the l-strand and 10-15% of the h-strand, whereas late ...

miRNAs are conserved 21−22-nucleotide (nt) noncoding RNAs that downregulate gene expression post-transcriptionally (reviewed in ref. 1). In the nucleus, Drosha processes long primary miRNA (pri-miRNA) ...

RNA is usually synthesized from DNA. The synthesis usually requires one or more enzymes like RNA polymerase. The DNA strand is used as a template or guide on which the RNA is formed. Since RNA forms ...

For decades, scientists have been intrigued by tiny viruses whose genetic material can be read both forward and backward. New research begins to explain this puzzling property. In 1971, ...

RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is a essential biological molecule that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes. It is a polymeric molecule composed of nucleotides, each containing a ribose sugar ...

Scientists have succeeded in creating a ribozyme that can basically serve both to amplify genetic information and generate functional molecules, a big step toward the laboratory re-creation of the ...

Every living cell transcribes DNA into RNA. This process begins when an enzyme called RNA polymerase (RNAP) clamps onto DNA. Within a few hundred milliseconds, the DNA double helix unwinds to form a ...

(BOSTON) -- Nanotechnologists are using DNA, the genetic material present in living organisms, as well as its multifunctional cousin RNA, as the raw material in efforts to build miniscule devices that ...
