DNA’s chemical cousin, RNA, was the messenger that carries DNA instructions from the double helix in the cell’s nucleus to ...

In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...

RNA molecules that have nothing to do with proteins can also help regulate genes and perform other cellular functions. Researchers have now shown that some RNA in cells also helps defend against viral ...

“Most RNA molecules are synthesized independently and here we uncovered a dual function mRNA that can be used to produce a protein or to make a noncoding telomerase RNA, which is really unique.

Certain types of biochemical processes can impair the immune system's ability to recognize and kill cancer cells. Purdue University's W. Andy Tao and his associates have developed a new way to study ...

A research team from the University of Cologne and collaborators has now shown that RNA interference, or RNAi for short, which is known to be a viral defense mechanism, also prevents the ...

RNA transcription is the genomic process in which a cell produces a duplicate of a gene's DNA sequence.

The candidates are sourced from Arnatar’s next-gen RNA discovery engine, dubbed DARGER for dual-functional antisense RNA for ...

San Diego-based Avidity aims to treat FSHD by silencing the culprit gene. Its therapy, formerly known as AOC 1020 and now renamed delpacibart braxlosiran (del-brax), is part of a new class of RNA ...

A team led by scientists at Northwestern University has discovered how paraspeckles, a landmark (condensate) found in the ...
