Researchers at San Diego State University and Michigan State University are shedding new light on how viruses meticulously ...

Federal funding cuts to mRNA technology research doesn't just impact COVID vaccines — experts say it could stall progress in ...

Similar to the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres—regions of repetitive DNA sequences ...

New research published in Nature has uncovered powerful evidence that may explain why a new chemical modification of RNA is ...

A new study, led by researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), identified tiny pieces of messenger RNA that ...

The collaboration will explore RNA-based small molecule drug candidates aimed at neurological conditions where existing ...

Using artificial intelligence, MIT researchers have come up with a new way to design nanoparticles that can more efficiently ...

As aging progresses, the quality of DNA and proteins inside cells declines, which is known to be the cause of various ...

RNA strands zip up into a double helix that blocks their replication. Like velcro, these are hard to pull apart and quick to stick back together, leaving no time to copy them.

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...

Transfer RNA (tRNA) then carries the appropriate amino acids into the ribosome for inclusion in the new protein. Meanwhile, the ribosomes themselves consist largely of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) molecules.

RNA is a crucial linchpin of many cellular activities, including the process by which genetic material is expressed as proteins. The more scientists study RNA, the more surprises they continue to ...
