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 ...

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.

RNA is one of the bodies most vital molecules, and it comes in a few forms. For example, messenger RNA fills an essential role in gene expression by copying the sequences of active genes, which are ...

"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 ...

RNA-based technologies are a powerful molecular biology toolbox, empowering scientists to decipher the complexities of living organisms at the molecular level. RNA is central to a range of ...

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 ...
