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

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

The discovery of catalytic RNA transformed our understanding of life's beginnings. Clare Sansom explores how the RNA world ...

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, ...

In a recent study, researchers at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) identify a novel RNA ...

QIMR Berghofer scientists have discovered a cancer-fighting RNA molecule that could hold the key to a new way of treating the ...

Inosine is a nucleoside that occurs naturally in transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and is essential for proper RNA translation. It is commonly found at the wobble position of anticodons, allowing for greater ...

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 ...

One of the greatest mysteries of our planet is how a soup of lifeless chemicals transformed into the first living cell. There are several competing theories about where this happened, from frozen ...

Mutations in a single gene, HNF1A, are known to cause MODY3, a rare, early-onset form of diabetes. Smaller-scale mutations in the very same gene are also common and quietly nudge millions of people ...
