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 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 ...

RNA can undergo changes in its properties and functions through a process called "chemical modification"—a gene regulation process where specific chemical groups are added, altering the ...

Atomic AI’s ATOM-1 large language model (LLM) demonstrates state-of-the-art accuracy for predicting RNA structure and function Technology can be exploited to evaluate and optimize key features ...

Similar to the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres—regions of repetitive DNA sequences ...

Present in both DNA and RNA sequences, a G-quadruplex (GQ) is a structure of four guanine bases attached in a planar array. These arrays, known as G-tetrad, are connected via Hoogsteen base pairings.

“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.
