Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a ...

RNA only has one strand, but like DNA, is made up of nucleotides. RNA strands are shorter than DNA strands. RNA sometimes forms a secondary double helix structure, but only intermittently. Length : ...

Later it was found that the sugar in nucleic acid can be ribose or deoxyribose, giving two forms: RNA and DNA. In 1943, ... had all the characteristics of a helix.

Box 1. The growing recombinase toolbox. Examination of the mechanisms underlying phage-bacteria warfare has led to the identification of effectors crucial to DNA cloning, editing, and modification.

Evo is a large language model that is not trained on words but on the genomes of millions of microbes. It can accurately ...

DNA and RNA methylation, initially thought to operate as distinct pathways, have been shown to interact closely, shifting our understanding of gene regulation. A team of researchers from the ...

Establishing clinical performance characteristics for Duoseq, a new assay for DNA and RNA sequencing. Magdalena Czader , Lin Wang , Eric Hsi , Christopher Giauque , Matthew Sperling , Andrea Vrydaghs ...

DNA vaccines use part of the genes of a virus or bacteria to help your immune system fight diseases. Learn more about what these vaccines are and how they work.

Octopuses and squid are masters of RNA editing while leaving DNA intact. These changes could explain the intelligence and flexibility of shell-less cephalopods.

Performing RNA sequencing concurrently with DNA sequencing improves detection of novel variants and classification of existing variants, according to a study published online Nov. 4 in JAMA ...

For example, Biotium’s RNAstorm™ and DNAstorm™ kits enable yields of more amplifiable RNA and DNA from FFPE tissue samples, compared to other methods. These kits use catalytic CAT5™ technology, which ...

What’s driving the RNA age is this molecule’s dazzling versatility. Yes, RNA can store genetic information, just like DNA. As a case in point, many of the viruses (from influenza to Ebola to ...
