A research team at the University of Würzburg has deciphered another aspect of poxviral gene activation. They have revealed a ...

These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...

Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have discovered a ribozyme that is shockingly small, yet ...

Premature termination of transcription influences ribosomal RNA output and RNA polymerase I drug sensitivity, revealing a mechanism of resistance to transcription-targeting chemotherapy.

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a fundamental molecular biology tool that scientists use to amplify and analyze genetic material, such as DNA and RNA. PCR involves the enzymatic amplification of ...

DNA polymerase θ (POLθ) is a specialized, error-prone DNA polymerase that promotes the repair of DNA double-strand breaks through theta-mediated end joining (TMEJ), an alternative pathway that ...
