Could yeast and humans be any more different? Going by looks alone, probably not. But peering into our genomes reveals ...
Scientists found a virus-like living entity in human bodies named "obelisks" - small loops of RNA, each a thousand genetic ...
The rate of HIV infection continues to climb globally. Around 40 million people live with HIV-1, the most common HIV strain.
Theoretical and computational analyses reveal environmental, compositional, kinetic, and thermodynamic constraints on a scenario where sequence information collectively stored in pools of RNA ...
In a recent study posted to bioRxiv*, researchers evaluated the early replication kinetics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Study: Visualization of early RNA ...
Cells use the genetic information contained in DNA to generate proteins, which carry out many of the processes of life. RNA is the intermediate molecule; it is transcribed from DNA, then edited, ...
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created an RNA molecule that can not just replicate, but “evolve” into a diverse range of more complex molecules. This find could plug a major gap in the ...
The 55th Lewis S. Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Basic Medical Research has been awarded to professor Steven ...
