DNA holds our genetic blueprints, but its cousin, RNA, conducts our daily lives I n 1957, just four years after Francis Crick ...

This story is one in a series marking International Women and Girls in Science Day. Join us as we celebrate some laboratory leaders taking research to new heights. In high school, Caroline Vissers ...

Cas13 is capable of intrinsically targeting host RNA in mammalian cells through mechanisms that were not previously understood. Through transcript-specific mechanisms that are independent of the ...

Alcohol damages the liver by disrupting RNA splicing, leaving cells stuck between functional and regenerative states. Targeting inflammation and restoring ESRP2 may provide new treatment options. Heav ...

Researchers at Northeastern University in Boston have created a hybrid model to better understand how RNA’s structure and functional dynamics control biological systems. This modeling strategy ...

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are actively expressed at any given time in a cell determines what type of cell it ...

UC Vice President for Research Patrick Limbach is a key figure in the National Academies’ massive undertaking to sequence RNA in the next 15 years. A chemist who leads the University of Cincinnati’s ...

AMES, Iowa -- When Walter Moss first began studying RNA structures, it was a somewhat obscure realm of basic science. A handful of RNA-based drug treatments had been approved for specific diseases, ...

The Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), in collaboration with Astellas Pharma Inc., has developed a new toolkit that uses small molecules to control the activity of a piece of ...
