Molecular dynamics simulations use atomistic force field to capture RNA folding with high accuracy
Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is one of life's most versatile molecules, with roles going far beyond being a messenger of genetic ...
Research reveals key differences between single- and double-stranded RNA, insights that may prove useful to fields from agriculture to medicine. Messenger RNA, or mRNA, has been in the news recently ...
A thorough evaluation of the transcriptome is provided by high-resolution RNA analysis using next-generation sequencing (RNA-seq), enabling the measurement of global gene expression. The use of ...
Thomas Gingeras did not intend to upend basic ideas about how the human body works. In 2012 the geneticist, now at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York State, was one of a few hundred colleagues ...
Top of the list of potential beneficiaries are honeybees. These semi-domesticated insects, important not only for their eponymous product, but also as pollinators, are plagued by Varroa destructor, a ...
Scientists provide fresh insights on the origins of life, presenting compelling evidence supporting the 'RNA World' hypothesis. The study unveils an RNA enzyme that can make accurate copies of other ...
Many writers grouse when an editor makes a change in a story, but the consequences of changing a single word usually aren’t that dire. Not so with genetic instructions for making proteins. Even a ...
