A 45-nucleotide strand of RNA can now synthesize both its mirror-image complement and a copy of itself, bringing scientists ...
These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...
Two separate laboratory breakthroughs have produced RNA molecules that can build copies of themselves or assemble functional ...
Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have discovered a ribozyme that is shockingly small, yet ...
Premature termination of transcription influences ribosomal RNA output and RNA polymerase I drug sensitivity, revealing a mechanism of resistance to transcription-targeting chemotherapy.
Enzymes called RNA polymerases transcribe DNA into RNA. RNA is the intermediary that carries the information contained within DNA to the ribosomes, where the genetic information is synthesized into ...
Building on its success against COVID-19, mRNA technology holds promise for novel vaccines and treatments targeting various diseases. However, a critical challenge remains: current in vitro ...
Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in all living organisms. They are essential for the survival and reproduction of life on Earth. The two main ...
