One-letter difference in our DNA determines whether BCG vaccine provides good protection against tuberculosis or not. Researchers have elucidated how that one letter difference affects the activation ...

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 ...

Cedars-Sinai scientists have created a new experimental drug called TY1 that helps the body repair damaged DNA and restore ...

Fluorogenic DNA aptamers produce light only in the correct structural state, enabling programmable molecular logic, ...

Life's instructions are written in DNA, but it is the enzyme RNA polymerase II (Pol II) that reads the script, transcribing ...

In a recent study in Nature Communications, researchers examined the adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) nucleoside editing of postmortem and live prefrontal cortical tissues. Researchers found that RNA ...

Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ...
