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 ...

RNA is similar to DNA but contains uracil instead of thymine (T) and has a single-stranded structure. Comparison of a single-stranded RNA and a double-stranded DNA with their corresponding nucleobases ...

About 30 children aged 3 to 12 years old and their parents are participating in a new program that uses DNA testing to identify ... Chinese parents can sign their kids up for the test and five ...

Kossel isolated cytosine from calf thymus tissues and found that it was a component of nucleic acids. This discovery, along with the identification of other nitrogenous bases, laid the foundation for ...

ATP-dependent RNA ligases join 3’-OH and 5’-PO 4 RNA termini via three nucleotidyl transfer steps similar to those of DNA ligases: (Step 1) ligase reacts with ATP to form a covalent ...

When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA). This process takes place in the nucleus and occurs in a series of stages. The two ...
