In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...

“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.

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 ...

RNA transcription is the genomic process in which a cell produces a duplicate of a gene's DNA sequence.

This breakthrough enables precise, programmable control of RNA function and is expected to open new avenues in RNA-based therapeutic development.

A research team from the University of Cologne and collaborators has now shown that RNA interference, or RNAi for short, which is known to be a viral defense mechanism, also prevents the ...

Experiment may help explain the ‘most intriguing causal paradox in biology’ about how early life forms came together about 4 ...

Our cells produce a variety of proteins, each with a specific role that, in many cases, means that they need to be in a ...

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 ...
