In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...

Researchers from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) developed a new RNA sequencing strategy that can reveal how genetic variants disrupt gene function and improve the diagnosis of rare ...
A strand of RNA just 45 nucleotides long can copy its own complementary sequence in frozen conditions that may resemble early ...
The RNA world hypothesis posits that molecules made up of ribonucleic acids (RNA) are responsible for kickstarting evolution ...
Researchers developed a new RNA sequencing strategy that can reveal how genetic variants disrupt gene function and improve the diagnosis of rare diseases. The study team demonstrated that this ...
The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For a molecule of RNA, the world is a dangerous place. Unlike DNA, which can persist for millions of years in its remarkably stable, ...
It’s no secret that we need new ways to treat and detect disease, including cancer. Specifically, we need better biomarkers that can be used for diagnosis and better ways to selectively get medicine ...
The first RNA-based medicinal products to attract widespread attention were, of course, the RNA-based vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. But now other RNA-based medicinal products are emerging. RNA-based ...
