They observe how the mobile DNA LINE-1 copies its sequence in human cells, revealing the precise mechanism of the ORF2p gene.

Scientists have designed a new method for detecting and analyzing double-stranded RNA during the manufacture of messenger RNA products. The team of Anubhav Tripathi, PhD, from Brown University, claim ...

Long interspersed nuclear element-1 (LINE-1 or L1) is the only active, self-copying genetic element in the human ...

In vitro studies showed that breast cancer cell lines can express TLR3, and that dsRNA can induce up to 80% apoptosis in TLR3+ tumor cell lines within 48h of culture. This pro-apoptotic effect of ...

The scientist who discovered hybridization and the "other" double helix describes what it meant to biology. By Alexander Rich Fifty-two years ago I was venturing to the basement of Cal Tech chemistry ...

Francesca Storici consults at Tessera Therapeutics. She has received funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both ...

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) acts as the elicitor molecule of the RNA silencing (RNA interference, RNAi), the endogenous and evolutionary conserved surveillance system present in all eukaryotes. DsRNAs ...

“Our findings show that RNA-based testing can uncover hidden risks in multiple myeloma that DNA tests alone miss,” study ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such structure, the G-quadruplex (G4), looks like a knot. These knots can play ...
