New method can more precisely determine when a cell has ‘cashed’ RNA ‘checks’ written by active genes

Cold Spring Harbor, NY — DNA has often been called “the book of life,” but this popular phrase makes some biologists squirm a bit. True, DNA bears our genes, which spell out the instructions our cells use to make proteins—those workhorse molecules that make just about everything in life possible. But the precise relationship between...

Base Pairs podcast Today, it’s easy to take the power of genetic information for granted. We now commonly encounter DNA testing in our daily lives, whether we’re watching a crime show or visiting a doctor. But it wasn’t all that long ago that scientists were still trying to figure out whether DNA was actually the key...
