Despite being made from a relatively simple set of building blocks, ribonucleic acid (RNA) has a broad array of complex ...

Immunologists from the Institute have been the first to uncover a role for a family of RNA binding proteins in the function ...

DNA holds our genetic blueprints, but its cousin, RNA, conducts our daily lives I n 1957, just four years after Francis Crick ...

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are ...

This study illustrates a valuable application of BID-seq to bacterial RNA, allowing transcriptome-wide mapping of pseudouridine modifications across various bacterial species. The evidence presented ...

RNA gene scissors (CRISPR-Cas13) are gaining significant attention as a next-generation gene therapy with fewer side effects. They can suppress infection by eliminating viral RNA, such as in ...

A study from Würzburg reveals that pox viruses have developed a unique strategy to rapidly multiply after infecting a host ...

RNA molecules that have nothing to do with proteins can also help regulate genes and perform other cellular functions. Researchers have now shown that some RNA in cells also helps defend against viral ...

Scientists gained new insights into RNA-mediated regulation of proteins (riboregulation) and its role in controlling cell growth, and most importantly how undifferentiated cells (embryonic stem ...

“Most RNA molecules are synthesized independently and here we uncovered a dual function mRNA that can be used to produce a protein or to make a noncoding telomerase RNA, which is really unique.
