1958年，弗朗西斯・克里克提出了中心法则，提出遗传信息从 DNA 转录为 RNA，再经翻译指导蛋白质合成，随后蛋白质参与生命活动这一流程，看似一气呵成，实则存在问题。 若仔细观察，便会发觉此流程不够简洁，RNA 的存在略显累赘。毕竟，越简单的系统往往越高效、越易实现，繁琐的系统则耗能多且不易形成。 从结构看，RNA 与 DNA ...

By treating DNA as a language, Brian Hie’s “ChatGPT for genomes” could pick up patterns that humans can’t see, accelerating ...

Recent research reveals that DNA and RNA epigenetics, previously studied as independent systems, actually function as a complementary regulatory network. This dual mechanism enables precise gene ...

2016). Thus, RNA structure might also affect intercellular communication across plants. Another key player in post-transcriptional regulations is RBP. Unlike DNA binding protein, RBP associates not ...

RNA is generally single-stranded, as DNA is transcribed by RNA polymerases into mRNA (messenger RNA), which is read by ribosomes to generate protein (translation). Biologically active RNAs ...

The field of plant biotechnology is undergoing a profound transformation. The rise of generative artificial intelligence (AI) ...

NASA's asteroid samples contain organic compounds and minerals that may have seeded early Earth with life's building blocks.

Japanese scientists detected all five nucleobases — building blocks of DNA and RNA — in samples returned from asteroid Bennu ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more ...
