RNAs play an integral part in all kingdoms of life and mediate critical processes from gene regulation to genomic maintenance and protein synthesis. RNAs also have an amazing diversity in structure ...

Researchers have now uncovered the 3D structure of the RNA enzyme SAMURI. Their study provides insights into the development of ribozymes and the evolution of catalytically active RNA. Researchers led ...

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

New research shows how RNA, a key molecule for life, may have formed on early Earth using simple chemistry and materials delivered by asteroid impacts, linking space science with the origins of life ...

A new microscopic technique allows for the real-time study of RNA G-quadruplexes in living cells, with implications for the fight against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ...

The novel Cleavage High-throughput Assay (CHiTA) developed at Penn State provides a scarless method to characterize thousands of diverse small self-cleaving RNA enzymes, called twister ribozymes, in a ...

RNA Timeline: A History in Hybridization and Structure Alexander Rich and David Davies discover the double-stranded RNA helix and show that polyribo U and polyribo A hybridize spontaneously.6 Ben Hall ...

Biologists are quietly rewriting what it means to be alive, and the human body has become one of their strangest frontiers.

Singleron Biotechnologies today announced the launch of MobiuSCOPE, a single cell RNA sequencing kit that provides full-length transcript analysis using standard short-read sequencing. This solution ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease and Stephen Hawking’s disease, is a neurodegenerative disease that results in the gradual loss of control over the muscles ...
