Several years ago, biologists discovered a new type of genetic material known as long noncoding RNA. This RNA does not code for proteins and is copied from sections of the genome once believed to be ...

DNA holds our genetic blueprints, but its cousin, RNA, conducts our daily lives I n 1957, just four years after Francis Crick ...

Considerable efforts have been made over the years to resolve the key issues of stability and delivery of RNA-based therapeutics. For several years after Crick (1) first described the genetic role of ...

Ribonucleic acid, also called RNA, is a molecule present in all living cells. It plays a critical role in transmitting genetic instructions from DNA and creating proteins. With the power to execute a ...

Researchers at Arizona State University’s (ASU) School of Molecular Sciences and the Biodesign Institute’s Center for the Mechanism of Evolution have discovered an unprecedented pathway producing ...

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are ...

New findings show how thioesters could have been built, an important step to providing the energy needed for protein ...

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed a new approach for using locked nucleic acids (LNAs)—a particularly stable ...
