Mutations in BRCA2—a gene known to repair damaged DNA and suppress tumor formation—can predict an individual's predisposition ...

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 ...

It shows a hexagonal ring with nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3, and a primary amine group attached to carbon 4 ... laid the foundation for our understanding of DNA and RNA structure. Cytosine can ...

Prior to the development of PCR in the 1980s, the primary method for producing many copies of a gene was a relatively time-consuming process known as DNA cloning. This technique involved insertion ...

New findings show that the mitochondria powering our cells also control the ability of a DNA repair protein to suppress the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which causes zombie-like ...
