Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...
Life on Earth may have started with a molecule that still runs our cells today. As researchers probe ribonucleic acid in the ...
Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have discovered a ribozyme that is shockingly small, yet capable of the fundamental steps of self-replication. They call it QT45 — ...
The body of the young woolly mammoth known as Yuka was so well-preserved that scientists were able to recover ancient RNA molecules. (Valeri Plotnikov) It was 2012 when Love Dalén, a paleogeneticist ...
Researchers developed C28, an engineered polymerase that efficiently synthesizes RNA at near-natural speeds with high accuracy. Created through directed evolution, the enzyme also performs reverse ...
Scientists successfully extracted viable RNA from a young woolly mammoth named Yuka that died 40,000 years ago in Siberia, which previously was thought impossible, a research team said in a study ...
40,000-year-old RNA from permafrost-preserved tissue was recovered from a mammoth specimen known as Yuka. Molecular evidence from Yuka revealed a correction to the original assumption about Yuka’s sex ...
It was 2012 when Love Dalén, a paleogeneticist at Stockholm University, first laid eyes upon a special specimen on a lab table in eastern Siberia. "Our Russian collaborators said, 'Come here into this ...
