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

Discover how a tiny RNA molecule serves as a molecular switch in viral infections, providing insights into phage biology.

Scientists successfully extract RNA from a 130-year-old Tasmanian tiger, thylacine, revealing how its genes functioned before its extinction.

Swedish scientists recover RNA from a 130-year-old Tasmanian tiger, revealing gene activity and ancient viruses in extinct ...

Ribonucleic acid, also called RNA, is a molecule present in all living cells. It plays a critical role in transmitting genetic instructions from DNA and creating proteins. With the power to execute a ...

Sean Ryder, professor at UMass Chan Medical School, has written a book to delve the mysteries of ribonucleic acid as a tool to fight diseases. Messenger ribonucleic acid, or mRNA, is in the public ...

The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...

Chemists at University College London have shown how two of biology's most fundamental ingredients, RNA (ribonucleic acid) and amino acids, could have spontaneously joined together at the origin of ...

A young woolly mammoth now known as Yuka was frozen in the Siberian permafrost for about 40,000 years before it was discovered by local tusk hunters in 2010. The hunters soon handed it over to ...
