IPA, a non-coding RNA from the CUL1 gene that stabilizes the nucleolus and supports ribosome production. Removing it ...

Major depression is not only a crisis of mood, it is also a crisis of biology that reshapes the brain itself. As genetic ...

Scientists at Rutgers University–Newark have developed a first-of-its-kind RNA-based nanotechnology that assembles itself inside living human cells and can be programmed to stop propagation of harmful ...

DNA and RNA methylation, initially thought to operate as distinct pathways, have been shown to interact closely, shifting our understanding of gene regulation. A team of researchers from the ...

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 ...

Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in all living organisms. They are essential for the survival and reproduction of life on Earth. The two main ...

Scientists have sequenced RNA from a nearly 40,000-year-old woolly mammoth leg, the oldest ancient RNA ever recovered. These fragile molecules could reveal which genes were active in the animal’s ...

IOCB Prague researchers showed that dinucleoside polyphosphates, known as alarmones, can initiate RNA transcription and form ...

An international team of scientists has designed a new type of therapy to target the mutant toxic RNA that causes myotonic ...

The artificial intelligence–based structure-prediction software AlphaFold, originally developed by Google DeepMind, has quickly become an important tool for drug discovery. Its original iteration ...
