What makes RNA viruses so dangerous?

The coronavirus is an RNA virus. An RNA is chemically more susceptible than a DNA. Errors occur more frequently during copying, and the virus mutates. Our immune system reacts slowly to it, vaccine development is more difficult. Author: 3sat/nano/Docstation/Johan von Mirbach/Anna Grün/Riccardo Gies

Using DNA sequencing to decode genetic material

DNA sequencing is used to determine the exact sequence of the bases adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine and thus to decode the genetic material.

TRANSCRIPTION - 1st part of PROTEIN BIOSYNTHESIS

In this video, I explain the transcription process, the molecular difference between RNA and DNA molecules, why RNA molecules contain the base uracil instead of thymine, and where transcription takes place in cells. For simplicity, I will not explain RNA processing, the process of splicing, and the

The origin of life

For life to develop, it needs amino acids, sugars, bases and fats. In addition, RNA, an acid and a kind of chemical Morse code - this is how chains with building blocks are created. But it is only a protective lipid shell that turns the chains into a cell. Author: ZDF/Terrax/R. Schlosshan/F. Hädeck
