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, in ...

To manufacture protein molecules, a cell must first transfer information from DNA to mRNA through the process of transcription. Then, a process called translation uses this mRNA as a template for ...

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

MRNA technology is facing growing doubts among Republicans. This is a KFF Health News story. Researchers racing to develop bird flu vaccines for humans have turned to a cutting-edge technology ...

Only recently has the ribosome—one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms—been recognized as an active ...

A new study has found that messenger RNA can travel between different stem cells and reprogram human cells to an earlier ...

A vaccine kept patients free of pancreatic cancer for years, yet new reports say the NIH is advising against mentioning mRNA tech in grants.

Cancer metastasis, the spread of cancer to organs, is a major cause of cancer-related deaths. Once cancer spreads to multiple ...

Exiqon LNA™ GapmeRs are powerful tools for loss of function studies of proteins, mRNA and lncRNAs. These single strand antisense oligonucleotides catalyze RNase H-dependent degradation of ...
