RNA molecules differ from DNA molecules in several important ways: They are single stranded rather than double stranded; their sugar component is a ribose rather than a deoxyribose; and they ...

Then, a process called translation uses this mRNA as a template for protein assembly. In fact, this flow of information from DNA to RNA and finally to protein is considered the central dogma of ...

Our genes contain all the instructions our body needs to function, but their expression must be finely regulated to guarantee ...

Researchers led by François Fuks - Laboratory of Cancer Epigenetics, ULB Faculty of Medicine, ULB-Cancer Research Center and Jules Bordet Institute, H.U.B. - have discovered a new mechanism which ...

Our genes contain all the instructions our body needs to function, but their expression must be finely regulated to guarantee that each cell performs its role optimally.

Spending enough time in the sun without adequate protection can leave us looking and presumably feeling like a lobster ready ...

Transcription, which converts DNA into RNA, and translation, which uses RNA to create proteins, are the two primary stages of gene expression, a basic process that takes place inside cells.

New research reveals that sunburn’s acute effects, like inflammation and cell death, are triggered by RNA damage rather than ...

Enzymes called RNA polymerases transcribe DNA into RNA. RNA is the intermediary that carries ... and microRNA (which regulates the translation process). An RNA polymerase II molecule is about 15 ...

We have all been told to avoid direct sunlight between 12 noon and 3 p.m., seek out shade and put on sunscreen and a hat.
