DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

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 ...

In contemporary biology the connection between the RNA world and proteins is made by the aminoacylation of transfer RNAs. In this reaction, the rules of the genetic code are established by virtue ...

An innovative new technique uses a novel DNA barcode system to track hundreds of RNA and protein molecules in single cells within thick biological samples, providing researchers with a full picture of ...

Discover how an advanced AI-powered tool, PlantRNA-FM, is revolutionizing plant biology by uncovering hidden RNA codes, paving the way for resilient crops and groundbreaking genetic insights.

for example—is translated using self-folding RNA alone. First, a DNA sequence is designed in a computer-assisted process. It ...

Researchers have succeeded in producing nanotubes that fold into cytoskeleton-like structures, using a new RNA origami ...

The discovery of uracil and its pairing with adenine in RNA was a crucial milestone in understanding the genetic code and the central dogma of molecular biology. This knowledge laid the foundation for ...

Dr. Kathrin Fröhlich from the University of Jena will be awarded the 2025 Research Award of the Vereinigung für Allgemeine und Angewandte Mikrobiologie (VAAM, Association for General and Applied ...
