Apart from carrying the information to encode proteins in, RNA molecules can adopt intricate 2D and 3D structures. Specifically, the same RNA molecule can switch between ON and OFF structures, ...
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine are private, nonprofit institutions that provide expert advice on some of the most pressing challenges facing the nation and world. Our ...
A study has illuminated how woodland strawberries launch rapid defense mechanisms against Botrytis cinerea, the fungus responsible for devastating gray mold. Using high-resolution RNA sequencing, ...
Scientists at Shaanxi Normal University have developed a new AI-driven model that can accurately predict interactions between microRNAs (miRNAs) and drugs, potentially speeding up the discovery of ...
New research provides a mechanistic map of how genetic mutations disrupt RNA splicing in acute myeloid leukemia.
When scientists sliced into a block of Siberian permafrost and pulled out a woolly mammoth nicknamed Yuka, they expected to ...
Spatial ribonucleic acid (RNA) transcriptomics measures gene expression while preserving each molecule’s coordinates in intact tissue, tying transcripts to histology and local microenvironments.
Advancing RNA therapeutics depends on understanding two critical questions: Where do drug candidates go, and what do they do ...
Swedish scientists retrieved RNA from an extinct Tasmanian tiger to help trace the genes that were active in the animal’s tissues during life.
