RNA-based medicines are one of the most promising ways to fight human disease, as demonstrated by the recent successes of RNA ...

RNA is synthesized from DNA by an enzyme known as RNA polymerase during a process called transcription. The new RNA sequences are complementary to their DNA template, rather than being identical ...

In this review of RNA therapies, we paint an overview of what’s going on in a field that is addressing a number of diseases.

A study reveals DNA and RNA epigenetics work together as a complementary system for precise gene regulation, crucial for cell ...

New research has identified a critical fall-back mechanism used by the cells when the usual RNA editing process is switched off. Professor Carl Walkley heads the RNA Biology and Innate Immune ...

This is where DNA and RNA epigenetics comes in: a series of mechanisms that act as "markers" on genes, to control their activity without modifying the DNA or RNA sequence itself. Until now, DNA and ...

Northwestern Medicine investigators have discovered a novel mechanism that recognizes and eliminates "bad" transcriptional ...

An RNA platform successfully predicted fetal growth restriction within the second trimester of pregnancy, independent of ...

Synthetic RNA-based translation regulatory parts often ... functionality due to interferences in the protein translation process. To address this issue, Professor Kim's team focused on ...

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 ...

Scientists design bioluminescent RNA The 'RNA lanterns' promise to reveal secrets of viruses and human memory Date: January 9, 2025 Source: University of California - Irvine Summary: RNA is the ...

DGRs are able to reverse-transcribe RNA back to DNA in a form of natural gene-editing. This process accelerates the evolution of proteins to help microorganisms adapt to changing environments.
