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 ...

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 ...

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

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

Federal funding cuts to mRNA technology research doesn't just impact COVID vaccines — experts say it could stall progress in ...

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 ...

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 ...

News Release 15-Jun-2022 New perspective on RNA function: RNA regulates proteins and thereby can control cell growth, study shows ...

“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.
