RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is a essential biological molecule that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes. It is a polymeric molecule composed of nucleotides, each containing a ribose sugar ...

The central dogma of molecular biology suggests that the primary role of RNA is to convert the information stored in DNA into proteins. In reality, there is much more to the RNA story. However ...

Enzymes called RNA polymerases transcribe DNA into RNA. RNA is the intermediary that carries the information contained within DNA to the ribosomes, where the genetic information is synthesized into ...

What's the difference between mRNA and pre-mRNA? It's all about splicing of introns. See how one RNA sequence can exist in nearly 40,000 different forms. Next, the snRNPs U2 and U4/U6 appear to ...

Well, you actually can. NOVA’s RNA Lab is an extension of a game called Eterna, which gets players to help scientists understand an important family of biomolecules called RNAs. Here’s how it ...

According to a new study by researchers from the University of Copenhagen and Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore, it is due to RNA damage instead. "Sunburn damages the DNA ...
