A thorough evaluation of the transcriptome is provided by high-resolution RNA analysis using next-generation sequencing (RNA-seq), enabling the measurement of global gene expression. The use of ...

Inside a lab in the French city of Orleans, scientists are testing out the limits of molecules in our body called messenger RNA -- best known for being used in COVID-19 vaccines -- in the hopes of ...

In a groundbreaking scientific achievement, researchers have successfully extracted the world’s oldest RNA from a 40,000-year ...

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 ...

Smaller noncoding RNA is being used in clinical practice and as knowledge grows of long noncoding RNA, use of it should follow, explained Laura Denby, PhD, Kidney Research UK Senior Fellow, senior ...

It’s an example of engineers and biologists coming together to create an innovative solution to the performing of calculations. The implications are a potential game-changer for intelligent drug ...

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 ...

Researchers say they have recovered RNA from the remains of a woolly mammoth that lived roughly 39,000 years ago.

Chemists at University College London have shown how two of biology's most fundamental ingredients, RNA (ribonucleic acid) and amino acids, could have spontaneously joined together at the origin of ...

For the first time in history, scientists have extracted and decoded RNA molecules from the remains of an Ice Age woolly mammoth. The breakthrough, achieved by researchers at Stockholm University and ...
