Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to ...

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell ...

KAIST researchers have discovered a molecular switch that can revert cancer cells back to normal by capturing the critical ...

Markita Landry is the first to admit that the two applications her research addresses – imaging brain chemistry and delivering genetic material into plants – are rather divergent.

In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell select this information? A large molecular machine called the spliceosome ...

Is Earth really exceptional?  A new book seems to reaffirm that notion.  But given the right conditions, primitive life may be a mere byproduct of biophysics.

Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to ...

This week at AAAS, PNNL scientists and colleagues discuss phenomics, exposomics, and the factors that influence DNA ...

研究人员测得，与此前分析的地球外物质，如碳质陨石、来自小行星“龙宫”的样本相比，来自贝努小行星的样本中氨的浓度极其高。氨是合成氨基酸等有机化合物时氮元素的重要来源。氨挥发性很大，如果不是低温环境的话，氨无法稳定存在。因此，研究人员认为，高浓度氨的存在 ...

Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:APDN) (”Applied DNA” or the “Company”), a leader in PCR-based DNA technologies, today issued a reminder to its shareholders to vote ahead of a reconvening of a ...

When Xiao Wang applied to faculty jobs, many of the institutions where she interviewed thought her research proposal - to ...
