An international team of scientists has designed a new type of therapy to target the mutant toxic RNA that causes myotonic ...

According to research from a team at the University of Utah Health and the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine, ...

Endogenous RNA is central to protein control and, ultimately, cellular function. Synthetic RNA is an important tool for biological research and is also offering a new generation of promising ...

Researchers find obelisks, mysterious RNA molecules in human bacteria that challenge our understanding of viruses and ...

This work presents a redox-responsive strategy for precise RNA control via post-synthetic 2′-OH acylation. These introduced disulfide-containing acyl groups can be selectively cleaved upon exposure to ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Methods, a group of researchers developed a novel method called Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) High-Order Folding Prediction Plus (RhoFold+). This deep ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of ...

An alternative splicing regulator previously implicated in calcium signaling in the heart ensures cell-type-specific mRNA processing of long neuronal mRNAs in the mouse brain.

When scientists sliced into a block of Siberian permafrost and pulled out a woolly mammoth nicknamed Yuka, they expected to ...
