New research published in Nature has uncovered powerful evidence that may explain why a new chemical modification of RNA is made in cells. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news ...

RNA plays critical roles in nearly all biological processes, but current methods for sequencing RNA are significantly limited. This is partially because RNA molecules are chemically modified within ...

Once considered passive messengers of genetic information, RNA molecules are now understood to play an active and dynamic role in gene regulation, modulated by a rich layer of chemical modifications ...

CRISPR-Cas13, a powerful RNA-targeting technology is gaining increasing attention as a next-generation gene therapy platform due to its precision and reduced side effects. Utilizing this system, ...

A chemical modification in the HIV-1 RNA genome whose function has been a matter of scientific debate is now confirmed to be key to the virus's ability to survive and thrive after infecting host cells ...

A tiny chemical modification commonly found on messenger RNAs plays a surprisingly large role in how cells respond to stress, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. 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 ...

University of Chicago researchers have developed a liquid biopsy test based on modification patterns in microbiome-derived cell-free RNA that predicts colorectal cancer (CRC) with greater accuracy ...
