At some point, RNA must have replicated itself before the evolutionary arrival of DNA and proteins, and now we might know how ...

Scientists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology have recreated how RNA might have first replicated itself on ...

Chemists have demonstrated how RNA (ribonucleic acid) might have replicated itself on early Earth -- a key process in the origin of life.

Life is thought to have begun when RNA began replicating itself, and researchers have got close to achieving this in the lab ...

Scientists have identified an RNA that they named 'lncREST' (long ... the localisation of key proteins in the process of DNA replication and DNA damage repair where they are needed.

During DNA replication, the complementary base pairing ensures faithful copying of the genetic material. In RNA, cytosine also pairs with guanine. However, RNA is typically single-stranded and serves ...

DNA and RNA methylation, initially thought to operate as distinct pathways, have been shown to interact closely, shifting our understanding of gene regulation. A team of researchers from the ...

This observation is critical to understanding how the initial RNA-primed template is handed ... modulators to serve as tools for studying DNA replication in cells. Tool compounds of this type ...
