This dual challenge—creating an efficient system to quickly locate information while ensuring its accuracy—mirrors what Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) researchers faced when working ...

Nucleotides are the building blocks of the two nucleic acids, ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). As such, they are also the building blocks of you and every other lifeform on ...

One reason cancer is so difficult to eradicate is its metabolic flexibility, she said. Her findings suggest that the salvage pathway could be an access route for cancer cells to get their nucleotide ...

Kinetic measurements of kinesin-1's front and rear heads reveal how different neck linker orientation regulate their activity, enabling the motor protein to move in a coordinated manner along ...

Among the major classes of RNAs in the cell, tRNAs remain the most difficult to characterize via deep sequencing approaches, as tRNA structure and nucleotide modifications can each interfere with cDNA ...

There are two species of streamertail hummingbirds on the island of Jamaica, West Indies—one with red-billed males (Trochilus polytmus) and the other with black-billed males (T. scitulus). This ...

This process allows for the rapid and automated synthesis of oligonucleotides with specific sequences. The synthesis occurs in a 3' to 5' direction, with each nucleotide added sequentially to a ...

The highest-ranking phenotypic predictors of head and neck cancer included past tobacco smoking, job code at baseline, pain experienced during the last month, qualifications, FVC (Z score), and blood ...
