The resulting mRNA is a single-stranded copy of the gene, which next must be translated into a protein molecule. Figure 1: A gene is expressed through the processes of transcription and translation.

One of the most popular circulating mistruths at the moment is that mRNA vaccines will alter your DNA, with pseudoscientific content flooding social networks such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.

Enzymes are used to cut the plasmids into linear pieces of DNA that encode the spike protein, and a different enzyme converts that DNA into mRNA. Another enzyme is added to chop any remaining DNA ...

Study reveals how cells regulate repair protein production to prevent DNA damage over-repair or under-repair, aiding cell ...

Once the DNA code has been transcribed into mRNA, it moves out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm. There, two kinds ...

But mRNA can be just as important, DNA scientists say. ... But when 8-oxo-G was added to a soup that contained all the factors needed to translate mRNA into protein, ...

In other words, mRNA simply can’t change your DNA – it’s not one to go against the rules of biology. All “explainer” articles are confirmed by fact checkers to be correct at time of ...

But sending mRNA into the cytoplasm of a cell is no minor task, as so-called "naked" nucleic acids (both DNA and RNA) rapidly degrade in the human body when not in the safe harbor of a cell.

Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo said mRNA COVID-19 vaccines should not be used, citing concerns that small DNA fragments in the vaccines pose a “unique and elevated risk to human ...

The mRNA in the vaccine is soon destroyed by the cell – just as any other mRNA would be. The mRNA cannot get into the cell nucleus, and it cannot affect a person’s DNA.

Once the DNA code has been transcribed into mRNA, it moves out of the nucleus and into the cytoplasm. There, two kinds of molecules interact with the mRNA to "translate" it into a protein ...
