This is where DNA and RNA epigenetics comes in: a series of mechanisms that act as "markers" on genes, to control their ...

Researchers have discovered that DNA and RNA epigenetics form a complementary system that precisely regulates gene activity, ...

This RNA-containing complex can then inhibit transcription of an mRNA molecule that has a sequence complementary to its RNA component. Inside the eukaryotic nucleus, the nucleolus is the structure ...

Our genes contain all the instructions our body needs to function, but their expression must be finely regulated to guarantee ...

The new RNA sequences are complementary to their DNA template, rather than being identical copies of the template. RNA is then translated into proteins by structures called ribosomes. There are ...

The specific labeling of RNA in living cells poses many challenges. In a new article published in the journal Nature Chemical Biology, researchers from the University of Innsbruck describe a structure ...

Researchers led by François Fuks - Laboratory of Cancer Epigenetics, ULB Faculty of Medicine, ULB-Cancer Research Center and Jules Bordet Institute, H.U.B. - have discovered a new mechanism which ...

TComparison of a single-stranded RNA and a double-stranded DNA with their corresponding nucleobases (Image: Wikimedia Commons, CC SA 3.0) The nucleotides are connected through phosphodiester bonds, ...

Transcription is the process by which the genetic information in DNA is copied into a complementary RNA strand. RNA polymerase enzymes read the DNA sequence and synthesize messenger RNA (mRNA) ...

Combining a weakly hydrophobic ion-pairing agent with a moderately hydrophobic one further improved resolution.

Researchers from the University of Innsbruck have developed a new method for covalently labeling RNA in the cell. In the ...
