DNA and RNA methylation, initially thought to operate as distinct pathways, have been shown to interact closely, shifting our understanding of gene regulation. A team of researchers from the ...

Researchers have now uncovered the 3D structure of the RNA enzyme SAMURI. Their study provides insights into the development of ribozymes and the evolution of catalytically active RNA. Researchers led ...

While the central dogma of molecular biology outlines the linear flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins (black lines), glycomics introduces a “3rd code of life”—glycans—that operates ...

Researchers identify a shared RNA-protein interaction that could lead to broad-spectrum antiviral treatments for ...

There are many molecules with therapeutic potential, but it can be a challenge to deliver them to the right places at the right times. RNA is one such molecule; the sequences for different proteins ...

It's a common storytelling trope: the stubborn foe who is eventually revealed to be a much-needed friend. Biology has its own ...

Researchers have figured out a way to make an RNA biosensor that fluoresces when it encounters small inorganic metabolites—not by engineering the RNA but by adjusting its fluorogenic ligand molecule.

Discover how a tiny RNA molecule serves as a molecular switch in viral infections, providing insights into phage biology.

Research into how a father’s choices — such as diet, exercise, stress, nicotine use — may transfer traits to his children has ...
