RNA molecules exhibit an astonishing diversity in structure, which is integral to their myriad cellular functions ranging from gene regulation to catalysis. Advances in experimental techniques and ...

Researchers are embarking on the RNA equivalent of the Human Genome Project, including sequencing all the chemical ...

Two separate laboratory breakthroughs have produced RNA molecules that can build copies of themselves or assemble functional structures without any help from proteins or DNA. These results offer the ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Methods, a group of researchers developed a novel method called Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) High-Order Folding Prediction Plus (RhoFold+). This deep ...

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 ...

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Emerging research suggests reversible RNA editing mechanisms may influence heart disease biology while opening new avenues for biomarkers and next-generation cardiovascular ...

These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...

This image depicts the chemical structure of cytosine. It shows a hexagonal ring with nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3, and a primary amine group attached to carbon 4. The two remaining positions ...

RNA Timeline: A History in Hybridization and Structure Alexander Rich and David Davies discover the double-stranded RNA helix and show that polyribo U and polyribo A hybridize spontaneously.6 Ben Hall ...

RNA molecules carry instructions from DNA for making proteins that carry out much of the work of living cells. Knowing where these molecules are located in complex tissues is a critical part of ...
