But Storici's team found that RNA can also help cells repair a severe form of DNA damage called a double-strand break, or DSB. A DSB means both strands of the DNA helix have been severed.

At the heart of molecular biology is the study of genetic material – DNA and RNA – which serve as the fundamental blueprints for life. These nucleic acids are not only essential for understanding how ...

Rather than training the algorithm on content scraped from the internet, scientists trained the AI on nearly three million ...

Scientists have discovered that tRNAs can determine how long mRNAs exist in a cell, causing some messages to be stabilized ...

Yet when “naked” RNA is injected, it degrades quickly. To address this issue, scientists have developed, and now widely use, the strategy of encapsulating mRNA into lipid nanoparticles (LNPs).

Nov. 7, 2024 — Researchers have used ancient DNA to challenge long-held interpretations of the people of Pompeii. Contrary to physical appearances, the DNA evidence revealed unexpected ...

All of those cat videos have to be stored somewhere, and DNA is a great storage medium; it has amazing data density and is stable over millennia. To date, people have encoded information into DNA ...

It is possible to overcome these hurdles, he explained, pointing to etheRNA’s work to develop RNA with low levels of process and product-related impurities, using proprietary codon optimisation ...
