Enzymes called RNA polymerases transcribe DNA into RNA. RNA is the intermediary that carries the information contained ... An RNA polymerase II molecule is about 15 nanometers across, or roughly 5,000 ...

On the left is an AFM image of DNA nanoarrays bound to their RNA targets at 1500nm x 1500nm scale. The zoom-in images (150nm x 150nm scale) on the right clearly show the barcode (white dots ...

Comparison of a single-stranded RNA and a double-stranded DNA with their corresponding nucleobases (Image: Wikimedia Commons, CC SA 3.0) The central dogma of molecular biology describes the flow of ...

The central dogma of molecular biology suggests that the primary role of RNA is to convert the information stored in DNA into proteins. In reality, there is much more to the RNA story. However ...

RNA-DNA nanofibers have been designed to bind and inactivate thrombin and due to their size have a prolonged circulation in bloodstream. This induced anticoagulation process can be reversed by the ...

In a highly technical process, the linear strands of DNA are turned into RNA in 40-liter (10-gallon) vessels full of enzymes and chemicals over the course of three to four days. The RNA acts like ...

they need mirror-image microbes. In 2016, Harvard geneticist George Church was part of a team that created a mirror version of DNA polymerase, the molecule that coordinates the copying and ...

In order to insert this information into the genomes of bacteria, the researchers transferred the image and the movie onto nucleotides (building blocks of DNA), producing a code that related to ...

When a gene is to be expressed, the base sequence of DNA is copied or transcribed into mRNA (messenger RNA). This process takes place in the nucleus and occurs in a series of stages. The two ...

Sanjana's lab previously demonstrated how a CRISPR-Cas13 platform targeting RNA instead of DNA can be optimized to screen the ...
