University of Pennsylvania researchers have discovered a right-handed, antiparallel double-helix inside influenza ...

The RNP complex is the influenza virus’s essential package, the virus’s blueprints and a copy machine all rolled in one. The ...

"Being RNA-guided makes it relatively easy to reprogram ... "dual-guide system," interacting with both strands of the DNA double helix to home in on their target sequences, which should ensure ...

to form the nucleotides that bind to make the double helix of DNA or its single-stranded cousin, RNA. From there, DNA or RNA provides the instructions for cells and, eventually, can evolve into ...

Functional analysis based on these structures also revealed how a 'prime editor' could achieve reverse transcription, synthesizing DNA from RNA, without 'cutting' both strands of the double helix.

Think of it as being shaped like a ladder; the molecule has 2 side rails joined together by several rungs, and it twists round to form the iconic double helix shape that you might have seen before.

RNA converts the genetic information contained within DNA to a format used to build proteins, and then moves it to ribosomal protein factories. DNA consists of two strands, arranged in a double helix.

the team reasoned that it would respond to the dye like double-helix DNA. The researchers found that, by running the samples independently with each dye, they could detect which RNA was dsRNA by ...

Since the identification of the double-helix structure of DNA ... First discovered in the late 1990s, small-interfering RNA (siRNA) has been important within many applications in the post-genomic ...

and from RNA to proteins. The genetic code. Marshall Nirenberg and Severo Ochoa, among others, decipher the mechanisms by which the DNA code is transcribed to make proteins. The double helix theory is ...
