Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...

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 ...

This seminar explores the link between modern RNA and suggestions for a prebiotic RNA world that existed some 3.8 billion years ago. Topics include prebiotic synthesis, replication and in vitro ...

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 ...

RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...

RNA molecules perform essential cellular functions including gene regulation, protein synthesis, and genome defense. These diverse biochemical activities frequently depend on RNA secondary and ...

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

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 ...

When the gene is transcribed into RNA, the chain of repeats forms a hairpin loop —a tangled structure that functions like a sticky trap for essential proteins. These proteins, which play a vital role ...

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, ...
