A new review highlights the transformative potential of transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) in the field of liquid ...

An engineered enzyme is at the center of a new method to visualize molecular details in human cells, and how these molecules ...

A University of California, Riverside-led team has made an advance in the basic understanding of Plasmodium falciparum, the ...

Transfer RNA (tRNA) is a small, non-coding RNA molecule that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis. It acts as an adaptor molecule, translating the genetic code in messenger RNA (mRNA) into the ...

Supported by the National Institutes of Health, Johns Hopkins researchers have created LiftOn, a new software tool that can ...

"Transfer RNAs are ancient molecules," said Gustavo Caetano-Anollés of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. "They're molecular fossils." Caetano-Anollés and his colleague Feng-Jie Sun ...

With the explosion of interest in RNA-based therapies that followed the success of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, some scientists have been incorporating direct RNA analysis for quality control and ...

Additionally, in synthetic biology and biotechnology, the ability to program microbiomes for specific tasks, such as producing biofuels or pharmaceuticals, relies on safe and controlled gene transfer.

Were biology a novel, ribonucleic acid (RNA) would be the Charles Swann of living systems. For decades the biological sciences barely acknowledged the existence of RNA, consigning it to relative ...

An international team of scientists, co-led by researchers at Trinity College Dublin and the University of Florida, has cracked a decades-old mystery in human biology: how our bodies absorb a ...
