His team began by using a chemical marker called biotin to label any sugar chains present on the neutrophil surface, tagging glycoproteins, glycolipids, and—potentially—glycoRNAs. Without rupturing ...

In the 1950s, however, live imaging of RNA synthesis presented a number of challenges. At that time, researchers had developed techniques that allowed them to label RNA with radioactive phosphates ...

We analyzed the turnover at four temperatures of RNA isolated from soil bacteria amended with 14 C-labeled uridine. We found that the half-life of recently produced RNA increased from 4.0 days at 20°C ...
