The central dogma of molecular biology describes the flow of genetic information. It was first described by Francis Crick in 1956 as one-way traffic: as: "DNA makes RNA and RNA makes protein." A ...

The central dogma of molecular biology is key to understanding the relationship between genotype and phenotype, although it remains a challenging concept to teach and learn. We describe an activity ...

As cellular machines and processes that regulate the flow of genomic information have come into sharper focus, a new level of chemical control has become possible. The scope of such chemical ...

The discovery of the double helix resulted in a Nobel Prize for its discoverers. This relatively simple structure revealed a great deal about its function to scientists like Francis Crick, who ...

For decades, RNA was seen as a simple slave to DNA. Newer research shows it has an active and critical role in every disease from Alzheimer's to cancer. One of the great revolutions in modern science ...

The core premise (central dogma?) of precision medicine – including both the White House’s initiative, as well as a range of other efforts – is that the integration of genetic information, EMR data, ...

In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered that the double-stranded molecule of deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) was a double helix. Another nucleic acid is called ribonucleic acid (RNA), it is ...

WASHINGTON — Text messagers and computer gamers aren’t alone in the willful misspelling department. RNA molecules do it too. RNA molecules aren’t always faithful reproductions of the genetic ...
