Later, in 1960, the discovery that an RNA molecule and a DNA molecule could form a hybrid ... and 16S rRNAs. In comparison, eukaryotic cells contain two types of rRNA genes that give rise to ...

For example, researchers know that RNA pol II can bind to a DNA sequence within the promoter of many genes, known as the TATA box, to initiate transcription. Together with other common motifs ...

This is where DNA and RNA epigenetics comes in: a series of mechanisms that act as "markers" on genes, to control their activity without modifying the DNA or RNA sequence itself. Until now, DNA and ...

RNA is similar to DNA but contains uracil instead of thymine (T) and has a single-stranded structure. Comparison of a single-stranded RNA and a double-stranded DNA with their corresponding nucleobases ...

If that RNA builds a protein with a helpful ... get to introducing a 'genome's worth' of nonsense DNA into living cells, the ...

Sunburn has traditionally been attributed to UV-induced DNA damage, but it turns out that this is not the full truth.
