Researchers from A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a new method to study individual RNA ...

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

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are increasingly being applied in the field of RNA biology. These methods are used to predict RNA structures, interactions with proteins and small ...

A team of engineers at the University of Florida has developed a new form of CRISPR technology that could make diagnostics ...

The origin of life continues to remain a matter of debate. The ribonucleic acid (RNA) world hypothesis proposes that 'ribozymes' which store genetic information and possess catalytic functions may ...

RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function often depends on its precise three-dimensional structure. A recent study ...

Misshapen proteins cause a mess of trouble—particularly in neurodegenerative diseases. But a new study suggests it's possible ...

When RNA molecules are synthesized by cells — a critical process in the creation of proteins and other cellular functions — they typically undergo a series of “folding” events that determine their ...

The new CRISPR platform, called ΨDNA, reprograms Cas12 nucleases to recognize and act on RNA using a DNA-based guide scaffold ...

An experimental RNA-based therapy shows promise for ALS by preventing TDP-43 protein clumping. The therapy halted motor neuron loss in mouse models. Researchers hope to one day move the treatment to ...

Ribosomes are composed of two subunits, the small and large subunits, each containing specific rRNA molecules. The main types of rRNA include: Small Subunit rRNA: In prokaryotes, the small subunit ...
