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

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

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

ribonucleic acid / RNA Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a linear molecule composed of four types of smaller molecules called ribonucleotide bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and uracil (U).

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

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 ...

Our research group recently discovered a new type of RNA that drives cancer progression without producing any protein. We think that this type of discovery may pave the way for an entirely new way of ...

A University of Massachusetts Amherst researcher has received a five-year, $2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health.

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

But to understand how this is possible, it’s first important to know the different types of RNA we have in our body. The mystery of RNA Only about 1% of DNA is copied into RNAs that make proteins.
