Scientists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology have recreated how RNA might have first replicated itself on ...

Nano-tRNAseq is based on nanopore sequencing, a technology that can directly sequence individual RNA molecules by passing them through a small pore. Each of the nucleotides that compose an RNA ...

Chemists have demonstrated how RNA (ribonucleic acid) might have replicated itself on early Earth -- a key process in the origin of life.

It has long been theorized that the first genetic material on Earth wasn't DNA like our genes are made of, but RNA. DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA contains the sugar ribose ...

They accomplish this by editing their RNA—the messenger molecule between proteins and DNA. The team on this study believes that this rewiring protects their brains and this strategy is likely ...

It has to do with a molecule called RNA, which is used to help translate DNA into the proteins that make up our bodies. To use an analogy, let's say you want to make a loaf of bread and you walk ...

What makes it special is the fact the therapy targets RNA, instead of DNA. So, what does that mean, and why should we be excited? Genes are made up of DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid. Nearly all ...

You may remember learning about RNA (ribonucleic acid) back in your high school biology class as the messenger that carries information stored in DNA to instruct the formation of proteins.

More recently, scientists have developed vaccines that instead use genetic material from viruses or bacteria, such as RNA or DNA, to help your body mount this defense. mRNA (messenger RNA ...

RNA’s Surprising Role in DNA Repair New insights could lead to improved treatments for cancer and other diseases. Francesca Storici and her research team discovered a surprising role for RNA in DNA ...
