Elongation: RNA polymerase moves along the DNA template strand, reading the nucleotide sequence and adding complementary RNA ...

The insulation around nerve cell components in our corneas have unique properties, and little is known about them. But UConn School of Medicine neuroscience professor Royce Mohan believes his lab is ...

An individual’s genome is identifiable. But datasets of RNA sequences from single cells are like a blurry photocopy of the genome. The sequence numbers are small, the data are noisy, and the sequences ...

UC Vice President for Research Patrick Limbach is a key figure in the National Academies’ massive undertaking to sequence RNA in the next 15 years. A chemist who leads the University of Cincinnati’s ...

Scientists have collected ancient RNA from mammoth samples up to 52,000 years old. Learn how they can use that RNA to ...

First, let’s start with the basics. All living things have a genome. Genomes are made of DNA. Each of your cells has a copy of your genome packed inside of it. You can think of it like an instruction ...
