They then compared those RNA sequences to their corresponding genes in the DNA. Cheung was surprised to find more than 10,000 sites where RNA bases did not match the corresponding DNA sequence. "We ...

Scripps scientists show that ribose may have been nature’s preferred sugar for building RNA, offering new insight into how life’s molecular foundations may have formed before biology began. Today, ...

Liquid biopsies have transformed cancer testing. These tests detect signs of cancer using a simple blood draw instead of removing tissue from the body.

Higher DNA yields are obtained using this modular protocol compared to several commercial DNA and RNA extraction kits. This may be because the modular format allows the user to incorporate knowledge ...

Cytosine is one of the four main nitrogenous bases found in DNA and RNA, along with adenine (A), guanine (G), and thymine (T) or uracil (U). It is a pyrimidine derivative, meaning it has a single-ring ...

DNA/RNA heteroduplex oligonucleotide for highly efficient gene silencing. Nature Communications, 2015; 6: 7969 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms8969 ...
