RNA-binding proteins use a dual binding mechanism involving zinc finger (ZnF) domains and intrinsically disordered regions ...

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

The ability to correct disease-causing genetic mistakes using genome editors holds great promise in medicine, but it is not ...

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

Viruses are entities that have to infect other cells in order to replicate. They may have genomes that are made of DNA or RNA. We are still discovering new types of RNA viruses, as shown in two new ...

Yale researchers have developed a new and safe family of RNA-editing tools that utilize an RNA-targeting activity that they ...

It all started in the lab. Two Boston University doctoral students, Joshua McGee and Jack Kirsch, were creating and testing different types of RNA—strands of ribonucleic acid, built from chains ...

Using artificial intelligence, MIT researchers have come up with a new way to design nanoparticles that can more efficiently ...

A new type of RNA degrading-small molecule with broad potential applications has shown some success against the virus that causes COVID-19.

The pair's prize-winning and tenacious work on different types of RNA culminated in a 2005 breakthrough study showing that chemical modifications of mRNA bases (nucleosides)—adenine (A ...
