Caltech researchers have identified a novel chemical reaction that could explain the formation of the building blocks of DNA and RNA, the molecules that encode all of life's functions. The work is an ...

DNA, often called the blueprint of life, is built from four chemical building blocks known as deoxy-nucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs)—dATP, dTTP, dGTP, and dCTP. Cells constantly need these molecules ...

The seed of life on Earth may have come from space. Growing evidence supports this hypothesis. New research conducted by a Japanese team has detected key complex organic molecules on asteroid Ryugu.
