RNA-binding proteins use a dual binding mechanism involving zinc finger (ZnF) domains and intrinsically disordered regions ...

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

Until now, DNA and RNA epigenetics were studied as independent systems. These two mechanisms seemed to function separately, each playing its own role in distinct stages of the gene regulation process.

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...

The mystery, which has evaded scientists for more than five decades, can be explained with rather simple chemistry, according ...

Click chemistry–based RNA sequencing captures bursts of transcription A new technique allows scientists to track RNA expression in single cells at the moment genes are transcribed from DNA to RNA.

Genetically speaking, it's a bacterium's worst-case scenario: During transcription, newly minted RNA sticks to its DNA template, forming a 3-stranded structure known as an R-loop. While these ...

We mapped the human genome decades ago, but most of it is still a black box. Now, UNSW scientists have developed a tool to peer inside and what they find could reshape how we think about disease.
