RNA hit prime time during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the average American waiting in line for their shot knew that the vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna were made using mRNA. But while RNA ...

Researchers from A*STAR’s Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) have found an innovative approach to sequencing single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) to study the roles of RNA structure in individual cells ...

RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...

An interdisciplinary research team from two working groups at the Center for Synthetic Biology at TU Darmstadt has developed the first RNA-based genetic switch that precisely replicates the logical ...

RNA transcription is the genomic process in which a cell produces a duplicate of a gene's DNA sequence. In a study published in Nucleic Acids Research, University of Alabama at Birmingham Department ...

A team from University of Toronto Engineering is the first to synthesize long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) outside the cell—a new approach to drug discovery that has already yielded some promising ...

The chemical structure of uracil, showing its single-ring pyrimidine structure. Uracil forms hydrogen bonds with adenine in RNA, contributing to the molecule's structure and function. (Image: Public ...

An artistic representation of the temperature dependence of the RNA free-energy landscape (FEL) of folding. The authors showed that RNAs undergo a phase transition in the cold and misfold due to the ...

CRISPR-Cas13, a powerful RNA-targeting technology is gaining increasing attention as a next-generation gene therapy platform due to its precision and reduced side effects. Utilizing this system, ...
