Life is thought to have begun when RNA began replicating itself, and researchers have got close to achieving this in the lab ...

A baby born with a rare and dangerous genetic disease is growing and thriving after getting an experimental gene editing ...

On their own, however, polymerases aren't good at staying on the DNA strand. They require CTF18-RFC in humans and Ctf18-RFC in yeast to thread a ring-shaped clamp onto the DNA leading strand ...

"We think this research solves the mystery of how DNA double-strand breaks and the nuclear envelope connect for repair in human cells ... including triple-negative breast cancer, which is ...

RNA can form into double-stranded structures, such as during translation, when mRNA and tRNA molecules pair. DNA polymers are also much longer than RNA polymers; the 2.3m long human genome consists ..

During her presentation, which was titled, “Deficiency of DNA double-strand break repair in human preimplantation embryos revealed by CRISPR-Cas9,” Kubikova suggested that insufficient DNA ...

Using the modern DNA, the researchers modeled different explanations for today’s human diversity—including the single origin theory and the idea that Homo sapiens mixed with other early human ...

Moderna’s mRNA COVID-19 vaccine does not alter human DNA or add a third strand to people’s DNA ... including an RNA triple helix formation. The passage does not refer to the mRNA used in ...

However, it's since been discovered that this so-called junk DNA plays important roles in cells, and in a new study, researchers report that humans may actually have junk DNA to thank for our ...

However, for the first time, the team was able to develop a hairpin-shaped DNA strand that can ... miR-21 found in human cervical cancer-derived cells, human triple-negative breast cancer-derived ...

Mixing and mating, revealed by DNA Genetic studies of living people over the past several decades revealed the general contours of human history. Our species arose in Africa, dispersing out from ...
