These insights from researchers could have major implications for diseases like cancer, where gene expression goes awry.

The findings overturn the long-held idea that most types of RNA viruses are incapable of DNA integration and raise another safety concern in the use of RNA-based gene therapy. "It's a very interesting ...

All five nucleobases that make up DNA and RNA have now been detected in meteorite samples, according to a study published yesterday (April 26) in Nature Communications. The work used recently ...

This pathway, or others like it, could explain why some inheritable traits between generations can’t be explained exclusively via DNA and RNA. "There are a lot of traits and disorders that we ...
