Thanks to a serendipitous discovery and a lot of painstaking work, scientists can now build biohybrid molecules that combine ...

In these early electron micrographs, the DNA molecules appear as "trunks," with many RNA "branches" extending out from them. When DNAse and RNAse (enzymes that degrade DNA and RNA, respectively ...

Thus, RNA molecules play numerous roles in both normal ... hypothesis that an "RNA world" may have preceded the evolution of DNA and proteins (Gilbert, 1986). Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs ...

Scientists have discovered a method to create biohybrid molecules combining DNA and proteins using bacterial enzymes. This ...

Unlike previous DNA computers, the data can be erased and replaced like memory on classical computers to solve multiple ...

"DNA is the molecule which encodes information, but it cannot do any function. Proteins are the molecules which perform functions, but they don't encode any heritable information." "RNA is a ...

Long known as a messenger within cells, RNA is increasingly seen as life’s molecular communication system — even between ...

which carries the information encoded by DNA to the places where it is needed, is amazingly diverse and dynamic. RNA is processed and modified through natural biological pathways, giving rise to ...

"As complex living systems, we likely have trillions upon trillions of tiny nanoscopic holes in our cells that facilitate and ...
