Lord completed a one-year program at the institute in 2000 in the middle of receiving her bachelor's degree at Carleton ...

By tethering RNA polymerase with the coupling transcription factor NusG or its paralog or version, RfaH, which threads the ...

For 400 million years, a leading hypothesis claims, Earth was an “RNA World,” meaning that life must’ve first replicated from RNA before the arrival of proteins and DNA. Unfortunately ...

What’s driving the RNA age is this molecule’s dazzling versatility. Yes, RNA can store genetic information, just like DNA. As a case in point, many of the viruses (from influenza to Ebola to ...

After a few weeks, he collected RNA from their brains. "We found that there were over 20,000 different locations on various different proteins that were edited," says Birk, with more tweaking in ...

What am I looking at? This is a 3D rendering of an RNA polymerase II enzyme from baker’s yeast, created using actual molecular data to reconstruct its shape and active sites. What looks like a ...

RNA gene scissors (CRISPR-Cas13) are gaining significant attention as a next-generation gene therapy with fewer side effects. They can suppress infection by eliminating viral RNA, such as in ...

Chemists have demonstrated how RNA (ribonucleic acid) might have replicated itself on early Earth -- a key process in the origin of life.

When RNA molecules are synthesized by cells — a critical process in the creation of proteins and other cellular functions — they typically undergo a series of “folding” events that determine their ...

Single-cell RNA sequencing to study salmonella infection In May 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recalled Jif peanut butter due to potential salmonella contamination.
