A University of California, Riverside-led team has made an advance in the basic understanding of Plasmodium falciparum, the ...

Scientists at Shaanxi Normal University have developed an AI-powered dual-channel model that predicts miRNA–drug interactions with up to 96% ...

Summary: New research reveals how a tiny chemical mark on RNA helps wire the brain during development. Scientists discovered that m6A methylation regulates the production of proteins essential for ...

Eggs and embryos from people with polycystic ovary syndrome have altered patterns of so-called epigenetic tags, which could ...

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...

When RNA molecules are synthesized by cells — a critical process in the creation of proteins and other cellular functions — they typically undergo a series of “folding” events that determine their ...

An RNA's structure determines how the molecule functions, including whether it acts as a tRNA (transfer RNA), an rRNA (ribosomal RNA), or an mRNA (messenger RNA).

Scientists in Spain and China discovered that HSV-1 begins rewriting the architecture of human genes just one hour after ...

The tumor suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that controls the expression of hundreds of genes. Emerging evidence suggests that the p53-induced RNA-binding protein ZMAT3 is a key splicing ...

Investigating how mutations in tumors alter DNA’s 3D structure—and subsequently, regulatory sequences called enhancers—can ...

Deep within our nerve cells, a molecule is at work that has no beginning and no end. Instead of a straight chain, as is it common for most RNA ...
