Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function often depends on its precise three-dimensional structure. A recent study ...

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 ...

Biologists mapping the human microbiome expected to find new bacteria and viruses, not entities that slip through every ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Methods, a group of researchers developed a novel method called Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) High-Order Folding Prediction Plus (RhoFold+). This deep ...

New research shows how RNA, a key molecule for life, may have formed on early Earth using simple chemistry and materials delivered by asteroid impacts, linking space science with the origins of life ...

Inosine is a nucleoside that occurs naturally in transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and is essential for proper RNA translation. It is commonly found at the wobble position of anticodons, allowing for greater ...

Singleron Biotechnologies today announced the launch of MobiuSCOPE, a single cell RNA sequencing kit that provides full-length transcript analysis using standard short-read sequencing. This solution ...

The chemical structure of uracil, showing its single-ring pyrimidine structure. Uracil forms hydrogen bonds with adenine in RNA, contributing to the molecule's structure and function. (Image: Public ...

What made ribose the sugar of choice for life's code? Scientists at Scripps Research may have cracked a major part of this mystery. Their experiments show that ribose binds more readily and ...
