RNA epigenetics also called Epitranscriptomics is an evolving field of research that explores chemical modifications on RNA and their impact on the cell and ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected way cells can generate cancer-driving proteins—by cutting RNA into shorter, ...

RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...

Just as the human body relies on organs such as the heart or liver for essential functions, cells depend on their own tiny ...

RNA transcription is the genomic process in which a cell produces a duplicate of a gene's DNA sequence. In a study published in Nucleic Acids Research, University of Alabama at Birmingham Department ...

The field of neurodegenerative disease research has increasingly focused on the roles of RNA-binding proteins in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral ...

Researchers from A*STAR’s Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) have found an innovative approach to sequencing single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) to study the roles of RNA structure in individual cells ...

The chemical structure of uracil, showing its single-ring pyrimidine structure. Uracil forms hydrogen bonds with adenine in RNA, contributing to the molecule's structure and function. (Image: Public ...

This manuscript has convincing data that provides a high-resolution structure of the Egl-RNA complex. The findings are important to understand the formation, stability, and interactions of this ...

The novel Cleavage High-throughput Assay (CHiTA) developed at Penn State provides a scarless method to characterize thousands of diverse small self-cleaving RNA enzymes, called twister ribozymes, in a ...
