Life on Earth may have started with a molecule that still runs our cells today. As researchers probe ribonucleic acid in the ...

Scientists at IOCB Prague are uncovering new details of gene transcription. They have identified a previously unknown ...

Our genes contain all the instructions our body needs to function, but their expression must be finely regulated to guarantee that each cell performs its role optimally. This is where DNA and RNA ...

RNA plays a vital role in how our genes are expressed and how diseases develop. Yet, because RNA molecules constantly change shape, understanding how they work has long been a major scientific ...

Fred Hutch researchers invent a CRISPR screening method to understand RNA-binding proteins often mutated in cancer and other diseases In biology’s standard tale of two acids — deoxyribonucleic (DNA) ...

Discover how a newly developed platform technology from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill can enhance RNAi ...

Look inside a brain cell with Huntington’s disease or ALS and you are likely to find RNA clumped together. These solid-like clusters, thought to be irreversible, can act as sponges that soak up ...

Pancreatic cancer may evade the immune system using a clever molecular trick. Researchers found that the cancer-driving ...

The discovery of catalytic RNA transformed our understanding of life's beginnings. Clare Sansom explores how the RNA world ...
