Their study, published in the EMBO Journal, reveals the detailed mechanisms of how mitochondria process transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules, which are essential for energy production. Mitochondria, known as ...

This process is one example of what geneticists call selfish inheritance ... If proven, this hypothesis could help usher in a ...

On the other hand, improvements in certain RNA production processes can lead to new therapeutics and improved crop resilience in plants. With this in mind, a group of researchers led by Xiuren ...

The goal is to democratize RNA technology,” said one of the professors behind the project, known as BioFoundry.

Researchers have tested strategies to combine riboswitches—RNA motifs that change conformation in response to binding another molecule—with these aptamers to create biosensors that fluoresce only when ...

The data shows that RNA interacts with a mitochondrial protein complex to trigger immune response pathways when viral RNA is ...

GreenLight Biosciences' Mark Singleton shares insight into the company's long-term vision to make RNA technology a ...

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 ...

Before the advent of nanopore sequencing, conventional techniques would process RNA molecules in such a way that it would remove the chemical modifications before researchers could study them.

Scientists have uncovered a new role for a cell's own RNA in fending off attacks by RNA viruses. Some of the cell's RNA ...

Neuroscience researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina report in Science that special genetic structures, known ...
