What made ribose the sugar of choice for life's code? Scientists at Scripps Research may have cracked a major part of this ...
Viruses are entities that have to infect other cells in order to replicate. They may have genomes that are made of DNA or RNA. We are still discovering new types of RNA viruses, as shown in two new ...
In living organisms today, complex molecules like RNA and DNA are constructed with the help of enzymes. So how did these molecules form before life (and enzymes) existed? Why did some molecules end up ...
The new test analyzes RNA molecules in the bloodstream. This type of RNA is called cell-free RNA because the tiny molecules no longer inhabit a cell.
How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals ...
RNA is often described as the single-stranded cousin of DNA, the double-stranded molecule that makes up the genomes of all living organisms. Many types of non-living viruses, however, carry their ...
A new type of RNA degrading-small molecule with broad potential applications has shown some success against the virus that causes COVID-19.
A traditionally overlooked type of RNA plays an important role in promoting resilience to depression-but only in females.
A specially engineered antibody that can accurately deliver RNA treatments into hard-to-reach and hard-to-treat tumors ...
RNA splicing, a process discovered in the late 1970s, allows cells to precisely control the content of the mRNA transcripts that carry the instructions for building proteins.
But researchers’ understanding of extinct and extant viruses could also benefit from this type of RNA recovery. “In the future, we may be able to recover RNA not only from extinct animals, ...
