Life is thought to have begun when RNA began replicating itself, and researchers have got close to achieving this in the lab ...

Lexogen, a leader in RNA sequencing technologies, is excited to announce the launch of the miRVEL Discovery Small RNA-Seq Library Prep Kit, an advanced solution for sRNA discoveries, with an optimized ...

Yes, say scientists led by Joseph Mazzulli at Northwestern University in Chicago. In the May 17 Neuron, they described how two RNA-binding proteins—one called non-POU domain-containing octamer-binding ...

"My research group has been interested in identifying modifiers of the C9ORF72 repeat RNA metabolism," Dr. Shuying Sun, one of the researchers who carried out the study, told Medical Xpress.

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 ...

The researchers tested the RNA origami in a lipid vesicle, a simple cell model system widely used in biology. Using so-called RNA aptamers, the artificial cytoskeleton was bound to the cell membranes.

Geneticists have for the first time isolated and decoded RNA molecules from a creature that died out long ago. The genetic material — which came from a 130-year-old Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine ...

Stanford Medicine researchers have developed a blood test capable of detecting cancers, the ways cancer resists treatments and tissue injury caused by non-cancerous conditions. The new test ...
