Uptake of cell-free chromatin particles released from dying cells and carrying non-coding DNA could redefine mammalian genomics.

DNA holds our genetic blueprints, but its cousin, RNA, conducts our daily lives I n 1957, just four years after Francis Crick ...

New findings show how thioesters could have been built, an important step to providing the energy needed for protein ...

James Chappell, associate professor of biosciences and bioengineering at Rice University. In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, ...

A new review highlights the transformative potential of transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) in the field of liquid biopsy, emphasizing their role as promising biomarkers for a wide range of ...

To build proteins, cells rely on a molecule called transfer RNA, or tRNA. tRNAs act like protein-building couriers, where they read the genetic instructions from messenger RNA, mRNA, and deliver the ...

Biologists have discovered that disruptions in transfer RNA function can lead to the development of cleft lip and cleft palate. Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common birth defects, ...

Researchers have developed a powerful tool capable of scanning thousands of biological samples to detect transfer ribonucleic ...

A study from Würzburg reveals that pox viruses have developed a unique strategy to rapidly multiply after infecting a host ...

More than four billion years ago, Earth was a very different place. Pools of water froze and thawed in cycles, minerals ...
