As DNA is transcribed into RNA it needs to be edited to remove non-coding regions, or introns, shown in green. This editing process is called splicing, which involves removing the introns, leaving ...

Most bacterial RNA transcripts do not undergo splicing; these transcripts are said to be colinear, with DNA directly encoding them.

We have discovered an artificial DNA enzyme that mimics the first step of RNA splicing. In vitro selection was used to identify DNA enzymes that ligate RNA. One of the new DNA enzymes carries out ...

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

As climate change and human activity threaten freshwater ecosystems like lakes and rivers, it's more important than ever to ...

Explore the 5 key differences between DNA and RNA, including function, structure and location, with examples and insights from modern molecular biology.

A bacterial protein helps to stop transcription -- the process of making RNA copies of DNA to carry out the functions of the cell -- by causing the cellular machinery that transcribes the DNA to ...

Researchers mix RNA and DNA to study how life's process began billions of years ago Date: September 17, 2019 Source: Scripps Research Institute Summary: RNA World is a fascinating theory but it ...

DNA may have mixed with RNA to produce the first life on Earth Key building blocks of DNA and RNA can be made from the same raw materials. This finding suggests that instead of one or the other ...

DNA and RNA methylation, initially thought to operate as distinct pathways, have been shown to interact closely, shifting our understanding of gene regulation. A team of researchers from the ...
