While DNA holds the genetic blueprint for humans, RNA actually carries out its instructions to create functional proteins that play important roles in how the body functions, including the complex ...

Cas13 is capable of intrinsically targeting host RNA in mammalian cells through mechanisms that were not previously understood. Through transcript-specific mechanisms that are independent of the ...

Inosine is a nucleoside that occurs naturally in transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and is essential for proper RNA translation. It is commonly found at the wobble position of anticodons, allowing for greater ...

For biotech companies with platform technologies, one common goal is finding a big pharmaceutical partner interested in jumping onto that platform sooner or later. For miRecule, the collaboration came ...

Researchers fhave created a new type of drug molecule that can precisely destroy TERRA, an RNA molecule that helps certain ...

The interior of a cell is packed with proteins and nucleic acids, such as RNA, all of which need to perform specific ...

The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...

A study in mouse models and human tissue, carried out by researchers at the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), has found that the small nuceleolar RNA ...
