The RNA world hypothesis proposes that early life was based on RNA, which subsequently devolved the storage of information to more stable DNA, and catalytic functions to more versatile proteins.

Migrating newborn neurons suffer routine double-strand DNA breaks from physical stress during brain development.

Nadine and David Lipworth have devoted their lives to finding treatment that will restore the daughter they knew.

The “dark proteome” includes uncharacterized proteins that may influence cancer growth, immune evasion, and therapy ...

Since its molecular structure was deduced in the 1950s, DNA has been hailed by many biologists as the secret of life. They’ve read and studied the information stored in the DNA found in the cells of ...

The discovery of thousands of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) has expanded our view on mammalian genomes and transcriptomes, as well as their organization and regulation. Accumulating evidence on aberrantly ...
