In a new study, published in Cell, researchers describe a newfound mechanism for creating proteins in a giant DNA virus, comparable to a mechanism in eukaryotic cells. The finding challenges the dogma ...

From vaccines and diagnostics to emerging gene-based therapies, RNA molecules are now central to modern medicine. But as their use continues to grow, so does a fundamental challenge: producing RNA ...

Researchers developed C28, an engineered polymerase that efficiently synthesizes RNA at near-natural speeds with high accuracy. Created through directed evolution, the enzyme also performs reverse ...

As aging progresses, the quality of DNA and proteins inside cells declines, known to be the cause of various degenerative diseases. However, the connection between aging and RNA has remained largely ...

FARGO, N.D.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aldevron, a global leader in the production of DNA, RNA and protein, has launched its latest innovation, Alchemy™ cell-free DNA technology. This revolutionary technology ...

New findings reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during the earliest stages of human brain development.

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of ...
