What have we learned about RNA structure and function so far? Although RNA is a single-stranded molecule, researchers soon discovered that it can form double-stranded structures, which are ...

mRNA is created during transcription. During the transcription process, a single strand of DNA is decoded by RNA polymerase, and mRNA is synthesized. Physically, mRNA is a strand of nucleotides ...

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 ...

Three children have died in the most recent outbreak of measles. This article reviews the symptoms and treatment of measles.

Details of the research are reported in the journal Science Translational Medicine. "Ebola virus is a negative single-strand ...

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules may be best known for their job ferrying the genetic information encoded in DNA to a cell's ...

If you imagine a double-helix strand of DNA as a twisted ladder, these nitrogenous base pairs are the rungs. There are also purines and pyrimidines in RNA, but since it is single-stranded ...

The Dicer enzyme trims this pri-miRNA, and once the other strand is discarded, the miRNA recruits the Argonaute protein to form an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). The single-stranded miRNA ...

Researchers have developed a map of normal hematopoietic cell differentiation and used it to examine how aberrant differentiation can lead to #AML, according to results presented by Andy Zeng, PhD, at ...

A short piece of single-stranded RNA about 21 to 23 bases in length that regulates the expression of genes. MicroRNAs function by binding to a matching piece of messenger RNA that encodes a protein ...

The two main types of nucleic acids are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). TComparison of a single-stranded RNA and a double-stranded DNA with their corresponding nucleobases ...
