Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

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 ...

An innovative three-color method for capturing images of mRNA inside live mammalian cells has been developed by UMass Amherst chemists. Because RNA is both incredibly important to human life and ...

Charles Darwin described evolution as "descent with modification." Genetic information in the form of DNA sequences is copied and passed down from one generation to the next. But this process must ...

All starting from the same DNA, neurons ultimately take on individual characteristics in the brain and body. Differences in which genes they ...
