Researchers at Utah State University have reported a previously unrecognised CRISPR immune response in which a bacterial ...

A groundbreaking study has shed light on the critical role of a tRNA methylation enzyme, TRMT10A, in supporting brain function. The findings reveal how the absence of TRMT10A leads to a reduction in ...

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 ...

James Chappell, associate professor of biosciences and bioengineering at Rice University. In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, ...

Ribonucleic acid, also called RNA, is a molecule present in all living cells. It plays a critical role in transmitting genetic instructions from DNA and creating proteins. With the power to execute a ...

Ribonucleic acid, commonly known as RNA, is involved in many biological functions, and some, including gene silencing, are utilized to cure diseases. RNA has recently gained attention as a promising ...

circRNA, circular RNA; dsRNA, double-stranded RNA; lncRNA, long non-coding RNA; mRNA, messenger RNA; miRNA, microRNA; ncRNA, non-coding RNA; pre-miRNA, precursor ...

An innovative three-color method for capturing images of mRNA inside live mammalian cells has been developed by UMass Amherst chemists. Because RNA is both incredibly important to human life and ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Nucleic acids are becoming increasingly popular for assembling nanoscale structures, thanks to their programmable dimensionality and direct applications in the biological field.
