Life may have begun when RNA molecules began to replicate themselves, and now we’ve finally found an RNA molecule that is very close to being able to do this ...

Scientists are exploring how DNA’s physical structure can store vast amounts of data and encode secure information.

A strand of RNA just 45 nucleotides long has been discovered to perform two key reactions required for self-replication. The ...

A 45-nucleotide strand of RNA can now synthesize both its mirror-image complement and a copy of itself, bringing scientists ...

A DNA nano-harvester stays on its track inside tumor cells, measuring cancer aggressiveness by detecting a key microRNA ...

Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have discovered a ribozyme that is shockingly small, yet ...

These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...

Since the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986, something has concerned scientists: can exposure to radiation leave marks in someone’s DNA that are passed on to ...

UK: A recent study finds that acute exercise suppresses colorectal cancer progression by altering the circulating proteome, accelerating DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) repair, and boosting PNKP ...

Twist Bioscience Corporation (NASDAQ: TWST), a mid-cap growth and value biotech company, today launched the Twist TrueAmp ...

DNA, the blueprint of life, is best known for its fundamental role as genetic material—storing and transmitting biological information through the precise sequence of its bases. For decades, this ...
