In 2022 the organizers of CASP turned their attention towards a different, yet still challenging, class of biomolecules: RNA. As with proteins, determining RNA structure typically requires costly ...

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 ...

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 ...

“RNA-Seq [...] is expected to revolutionize the manner in which eukaryotic transcriptomes are analysed.” Figure 2: Quantifying expression levels: RNA-Seq and microarray compared. Taking all of ...

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 ...

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Arrakis Therapeutics, a biopharmaceutical company pioneering the discovery of a new class of small molecule medicines that directly target RNA, today announced ...

It turns out the immediate effects are driven by RNA damage, not DNA damage, as originally thought. The findings appear in the journal Molecular Cell. The study's authors say their work could one ...
