Researchers at Fred Hutch Cancer Center invented a new screening method called ReLiC that uses CRISPR-Cas9 to test all the ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of RNA molecule that do not carry instructions to make proteins. Instead, they ...

Enzymes called RNA polymerases transcribe DNA into RNA. RNA is the intermediary that carries the information contained within DNA to the ribosomes, where the genetic information is synthesized into ...

Genetically speaking, it's a bacterium's worst-case scenario: During transcription, newly minted RNA sticks to its DNA template, forming a 3-stranded structure known as an R-loop. While these ...

Mutations in a single gene, HNF1A, are known to cause MODY3, a rare, early-onset form of diabetes. Smaller-scale mutations in ...

Click chemistry–based RNA sequencing captures bursts of transcription A new technique allows scientists to track RNA expression in single cells at the moment genes are transcribed from DNA to RNA.

Aging selectively impairs the production of crucial DNA- and RNA-binding proteins, which contributes to hallmarks of aging in ...

During transcription, the first step in gene expression, RNAPs "read" DNA sequences and assemble messenger RNA (mRNA), which in turn serves as the template for the proteins necessary for life.

Finally, they tested RhsP2 against RNA – the vital molecules that transcribe DNA to produce proteins – and found that this was its target.
