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

RNA Timeline: A History in Hybridization and Structure Alexander Rich and David Davies discover the double-stranded RNA helix and show that polyribo U and polyribo A hybridize spontaneously.6 Ben Hall ...

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 ...

Despite being made from a relatively simple set of building blocks, ribonucleic acid (RNA) has a broad array of complex ...

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...

This image illustrates the chemical structure of a purine molecule, highlighting the numbering of the carbon and nitrogen atoms. The purine structure consists of a pyrimidine ring (positions 1 to 6) ...

Researchers have unveiled a new type of nanostructure that dramatically improves CRISPR delivery. Called lipid nanoparticle ...
