Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for ...

New methods to shape RNA molecules into circles could lead to more effective and long-lasting therapies, shows a new study. The advance holds promise for a range of diseases, offering a more enduring ...

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common adult-onset form of ...

Just as two DNA strands naturally arrange themselves into a helix, DNA's molecular cousin RNA can form hairpin-like loops. But unlike DNA, which has a single job, RNA can play many parts -- including ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Methods, a group of researchers developed a novel method called Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) High-Order Folding Prediction Plus (RhoFold+). This deep ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 119, No. 4 (January 25, 2022), pp. 1-11 (11 pages) RNA is a ubiquitous biomolecule that can serve as both catalyst ...

A new method can test the activity of thousands of RNA enzymes, called ribozymes, in a single experiment. The "RNA world" hypothesis proposes that the earliest life on Earth may have been based on RNA ...

UC Vice President for Research Patrick Limbach is a key figure in the National Academies’ massive undertaking to sequence RNA in the next 15 years. A chemist who leads the University of Cincinnati’s ...

Researchers from Stockholm University have—for the first time ever—managed to successfully isolate and sequence RNA molecules from Ice Age woolly mammoths. These RNA sequences are the oldest ever ...

A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular ...
