Researchers uncover MraZ 'donut' deformation that triggers bacterial cell division

A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the ...

Q&A: Algorithm achieves near end-to-end genome assembly without ultra-long DNA sequencing

Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

DNA-inspired molecule breaks records for storing solar heat

To store heat for days, weeks, or months, you need to trap the energy in the bonds of a molecule that can later release heat on demand. The approach to this particular chemistry problem is called ...

RNA is key to the dark matter of the genome. Scientists are sequencing it to illuminate human health and disease

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...

What does "DNA" stand for?

A complete breakdown of the abbreviation, including its role and function within the body.

Tiny, 45 base long RNA can make copies of itself

These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...
