Because RNAs are so central to our biology, they are also drivers of a wide array of diseases. Defects in how RNA is produced ...

The central dogma of molecular biology suggests that the primary role of RNA is to convert the information stored in DNA into proteins. In reality, there is much more to the RNA story. However ...

For instance, in a 1971 essay on the history of nucleic acid research, Erwin Chargaff noted that in a 1961 historical account of nineteenth-century science ... the way RNA and DNA molecules ...

"Instead of writing information randomly in bacterial DNA, which is permanent and arduous to read out, we write information in a region of RNA that is highly conserved across the tree of life ...

DNA strand displacement circuits are inching closer to becoming cellular machines. Scientists are finding ways to make these programmable nanodevices stable and functional inside living cells. If ...

Ultrasensitive ratiometric fluorosensor for enteroviral RNA detection based on improved electron transfer between carbon dots and ethidium bromide. Carbon , 2025; 238: 120222 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbon ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed the first-ever method of detecting ribonucleic acid, or RNA, ...

The main function of RNA is to convert genetic information from DNA into proteins. Non-coding RNA molecules don't carry genetic information that would later be converted to proteins. "We ...

While much focus has been placed on genetic mutations in the DNA, recent research has pointed to the importance of post-transcriptional modifications, which are chemical changes made to RNA ...

A research team led by Rice University’s Yang Gao has uncovered new insights into the molecular mechanisms of ADAR1, a protein that regulates ribonucleic acid (RNA) induced immune responses. Their ...
