RNA interference is a natural mechanism for living cells to control whether specific genes are being used. Crowned with the ...

Our genes contain all the instructions our body needs to function, but their expression must be finely regulated to guarantee that each cell performs its role optimally. This is where DNA and RNA ...

For decades, the central dogma of molecular biology—DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, protein makes phenotype—was the guiding framework for understanding inheritance and disease. This model explained ...

Researchers from A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a new method to study individual RNA molecules and reveal how their structures influence gene regulation, a ...

Researchers have made a significant advance in understanding how genes are controlled in living organisms. The new study focuses on critical snippets of RNA in the tiny, transparent roundworm ...

RNA interference is a natural mechanism for living cells to control whether specific genes are being used or not.

What is an RNA vaccine? RNA vaccines, or messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines, are a relatively new type of vaccine that delivers mRNA molecules to human cells, instructing them to produce specific antigens.

The research explores how CRISPR can be used to edit RNA. A team at Montana State University published research that shows how RNA, the close chemical cousin to DNA, can be edited using CRISPRs. The ...

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 ...

Look inside a brain cell with Huntington’s disease or ALS and you are likely to find RNA clumped together. These solid-like clusters, thought to be irreversible, can act as sponges that soak up ...
