yet much of the non-coding genome is transcribed into RNA. Over the past few decades, scientists have discovered that these non-coding RNAs mediate essential functions in healthy cells — and ...

Bioluminescent luciferase enzymes have historically been too dim to use as probes in living tissue. But recent advances have ...

Ribonucleic acid, commonly known as RNA, is involved in many biological functions, and some, including gene silencing, are utilitized to cure diseases. RNA has recently gained attention as a ...

A research team led by Rice University's Yang Gao has uncovered new insights into the molecular mechanisms of ADAR1, a ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have developed "tomoseqr"—a new software tool that enables easy estimation of the ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

Two molecular control factors play a decisive role in what is known as splicing, the cutting and assembly of mature messenger ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

Similarly, cells splice RNA in different ways to produce a variety of proteins from a single gene, fine-tuning their function based on need. However, when cancer rewrites the script, this process goes ...

A study reveals how cancer disrupts RNA splicing and presents a potential therapy using antisense oligonucleotides to target ...

SINGAPORE: A national programme aimed at positioning Singapore at the forefront of RNA science has been officially launched ...

A research team led by Rice University’s Yang Gao has uncovered new insights into the molecular mechanisms of ADAR1, a ...
