In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read ...

The majority of RNAs in each of our cells don't code for any of the thousands of proteins that make up our bodies. Instead, ...

Each nucleotide contains a phosphate, a 5-carbon sugar molecule and a nitrogenous base. RNA only has one strand, but like DNA, is made up of nucleotides. RNA strands are shorter than DNA strands. RNA ...

UC Irvine scientists developed bioluminescent RNA tags, "tiny guiding lights," using luciferase to track RNA in real-time, ...

What you see depends on how you look. For years students of cell biology were taught that a molecule called RNA was but a humble minion assisting its glamorous cousins, DNA and proteins.

RNA modifications play crucial roles in gene regulation, cellular function and the response to environmental stimuli. However, the detection and characterization of these modifications remain ...
