RNA molecules exhibit an astonishing diversity in structure, which is integral to their myriad cellular functions ranging from gene regulation to catalysis. Advances in experimental techniques and ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are increasingly being applied in the field of RNA biology. These methods are used to predict RNA structures, interactions with proteins and small ...

Studying a trio of non-coding RNA molecules produced abundantly in bacterial cells, a SLAC/Stanford-led research team discovered extravagant, multistrand complexes made entirely of RNA—structures they ...

Rutgers University–Newark researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind RNA nanotechnology. The development self-assembles inside living human cells and can be programmed to halt the growth of ...

When RNA molecules are synthesized by cells — a critical process in the creation of proteins and other cellular functions — they typically undergo a series of “folding” events that determine their ...

Researchers engineered the first RNA-based NAND gate in living cells using deep learning and Bayesian optimization, testing ...

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common adult-onset form of ...

Apart from carrying the information to encode proteins in, RNA molecules can adopt intricate 2D and 3D structures. Specifically, the same RNA molecule can switch between ON and OFF structures, ...

A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular genetic structures, termed obelisks, differ from known viruses and bacteria and ...

Tina de los Reyes is the strategic biopharma development specialist for the Western US. With over 10 years of commercial experience in NGS and a Masters in Biomedical diagnostics, she specializes in ...

The cold season is in full swing, throats are scratchy and noses are running. We feel ill and hope it is not the flu. The ...

For decades, scientists have recognized that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a formidable viral pathogen. After years of probing work and extensive experimentation, a Yale research team has ...
