Despite being made from a relatively simple set of building blocks, ribonucleic acid (RNA) has a broad array of complex responsibilities. From providing structure to carrying the instructions for ...

Deciphering the spatial, temporal and chemical complexity of RNA molecules in living systems is key to understanding gene regulation at the molecular level. Recent advances in imaging, molecular ...

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

SANTA CRUZ, CA — Researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have determined the three-dimensional structure of an RNA enzyme, or “ribozyme,” that carries out a fundamental reaction ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Methods, a group of researchers developed a novel method called Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) High-Order Folding Prediction Plus (RhoFold+). This deep ...

There are many molecules with therapeutic potential, but it can be a challenge to deliver them to the right places at the right times. RNA is one such molecule; the sequences for different proteins ...

PORE-cupine, a nanopore-based sequencing method that maps individual RNA structures at single-molecule resolution.

According to the RNA world hypothesis, life began when RNA molecules evolved the ability to make more copies of themselves. Now we have discovered an RNA molecule that is almost capable of this – it ...

For decades, virologists knew that enteroviruses pulled a kind of bait-and-switch inside human cells, repurposing the cell’s ...

An experimental RNA-based therapy shows promise for ALS by preventing TDP-43 protein clumping. An international team of scientists has developed an RNA-based experimental medicine that has the ...
