A chemical modification in the HIV-1 RNA genome whose function has been a matter of scientific debate is now confirmed to be key to the virus's ability to survive and thrive after infecting host cells ...

A tiny chemical modification commonly found on messenger RNAs plays a surprisingly large role in how cells respond to stress, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The ...

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message, or mRNA, which is then converted into protein. Although DNA remains the same ...

Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland and Aalto University have developed a computational framework called SegPore that enhances the accuracy of RNA modification detection from direct RNA ...

New research published today in Nature from Ryan Flynn, MD, PhD, in collaboration with Vijay Rathinam, DVM, PhD, and his graduate student Vincent Graziano at UConn Health and other colleagues at ...

Using a novel method, Weizmann Institute of Science researchers map 16 types of simultaneous changes in dozens of samples; ...

CRISPR-Cas13, a powerful RNA-targeting technology is gaining increasing attention as a next-generation gene therapy platform due to its precision and reduced side effects. Utilizing this system, ...

DNA and RNA epigenetics, once thought to be separate, have now been found to work together to fine-tune gene expression. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

A giant impact on the early Earth could have brought the building blocks of RNA to our planet, which new research suggests ...
