The discovery of a juvenile woolly mammoth named Yuka, found in Siberian permafrost with its skin and muscles intact, has ...

MIT researchers mapped RNA editing across more than 200 individual fly motor neurons, uncovering hundreds of canonical and ...

Proteins carry out many of an organism's critical functions, and they are coded for by genes. To make a protein from a gene, a cell first needs a copy of the gene in the form of a molecule called RNA.

Scientists have recovered the oldest-known RNA, a molecule necessary for most biological functions, from a woolly mammoth ...

In a leap for biomedical science, researchers from the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) and A*STAR Bioinformatics Institute (A*STAR BII), in collaboration with the University of ...

Researchers at Arizona State University’s (ASU) School of Molecular Sciences and the Biodesign Institute’s Center for the Mechanism of Evolution have discovered an unprecedented pathway producing ...

Ribozymes - ribonucleic acid enzymes - are RNA molecules that catalyse chemical reactions. Much like DNA, RNA is a linear molecule made by connecting four chemical building blocks called bases ...

A research team from the University of Cologne and collaborators has now shown that RNA interference, or RNAi for short, which is known to be a viral defense mechanism, also prevents the ...

RNA plays a vital role in how our genes are expressed and how diseases develop. Yet, because RNA molecules constantly change ...

WOOLLY mammoths are a step closer to coming back from the dead after RNA from a 39,000-year-old carcass was found. The Ice ...
