How is RNA formed from DNA? RNA --> protein: RNA is very important in protein synthesis. mRNA is used as a direct 'recipe' for the amino acid sequence which will make the protein. It is translated by ribosomes (which feature rRNA) with the tRNA bringing amino acids in the correct ord...
The latest experiments support the idea that the first nucleic acid encoded information using a mixed 'alphabet' of RNA and DNA subunits. RNA and DNA nucleosides might have emerged together on prebiotic Earth.doi:10.1038/d41586-020-01566-4Kristian Le Vay...
DNA is found in the nucleus of every human cell. The information in DNA: guides the cell (along with RNA) in making new proteins that determine all our biological traits gets passed (copied) from one generation to the next The key to all of these functions is found in the molecular ...
A synthetic DNA enzyme catalyses the formation of a native phosphodiester bond between two RNA fragments, but the molecular details of the mechanism remained elusive. Research using computational and biochemical approaches now suggests that the DNA enzyme recruits two magnesium ions to assist in the ...
How is ribosomal RNA different from other forms of RNA? What is a difference between DNA replication and RNA transcription? How does RNA participate in DNA replication? How are RNA and DNA used to make proteins? What are the advantages to having DNA, RNA, and protein compared to only RNA?
The first demonstrations of high-capacity long-lasting DNA digital data storage have been shown. However, high storage costs and slow retrieval of the data must be overcome to make DNA data storage more applicable and marketable. Herein, we discuss the issues and recent advances in DNA data ...

Transfer RNAs (tRNA) are the RNAs that “read” the genetic code and translate it into a sequence ofamino acidsto make a protein. The addition of a chemical tag—a methyl sulfur group—to a particular location on some tRNAs improves their ability to translate messenger RNA into prote...
However, it is important to note that all these experiments involved assembly on non-replicating RNAs produced by transcription from DNA in the nucleus rather than replicating cytoplasmic RNA and thus do not accurately mimic the situation that occurs during the infection cycle. The protoplast ...
In Blueprint, Robert Plomin, a pioneer in the field of behavioural genetics, draws on a lifetime's worth of research to make the case that DNA is the most important factor shaping who we are. Our families, schools and the environment around us are important, but they are not as ...
