A giant impact on the early Earth could have brought the building blocks of RNA to our planet, which new research suggests ...

While you’re probably pretty familiar with DNA, it’s likely that RNA only made it onto your radar during the pandemic, thanks to Covid-19 vaccines such as the ones from Moderna and Pfizer. DNA is “the ...

The biotech industry is experiencing a rush of AI-powered tools for many aspects of the complex drug discovery process. But one that has flown under the radar, increasingly thought to be key to ...

The United States Food and Drug Administration has just approved the first-ever clinical trial that uses CRISPR-Cas13 RNA ...

New research shows how RNA, a key molecule for life, may have formed on early Earth using simple chemistry and materials delivered by asteroid impacts, linking space science with the origins of life ...

Over the last few years, scientists and entrepreneurs have flocked to developing medicines that target RNA, the genetic blueprint that cells in our bodies use to make proteins. RNA has been in the ...

Ask a friend what DNA is and, chances are, they have a general idea. Seventy years after scientists discovered the two-stranded helix, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is widely understood as the keeper of ...

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

In 2018, the RNA Society endorsed Aug. 1 as annual World RNA Day, and depending on when you’re reading this article, the anniversary of that day is either upon you now or has likely passed you by ...

The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...

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