Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are perhaps the most important molecules in cell biology, responsible for the storage and reading of genetic information that underpins all life.

細胞内のたんぱく質をゲノムDNAに結合した状態で抽出し（ChIP）、クライオ電子顕微鏡解析（CryoEM）により可視化するChIP-CryoEM法を確立しました。 ChIP-CryoEM法により、ヒト細胞内のゲノムDNAをRNAに転写中のRNAポリメラーゼIIの立体構造を可視化することに成功 ...

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA double ...

This image depicts the chemical structure of cytosine. It shows a hexagonal ring with nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3, and a primary amine group attached to carbon 4. The two remaining positions ...

A new study has discovered an unprecedented pathway producing telomerase RNA from a protein-coding messenger RNA (mRNA). For the very first time, a study led by Julian Chen and his group in Arizona ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double helix ...
