Ancient DNA has been pulled from a permafrost-preserved woolly mammoth found in Siberia, and scientists are thrilled. They recovered and sequenced RNA, a fragile molecule that many biologists assumed ...

Increasing paternal age has been linked to elevated health risks for the next generation, including higher risks of obesity ...

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 ...

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

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

Explore RNA interference methods, comparing siRNA and shRNA for gene knockdown, their mechanisms, advantages, and ...

How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals danger. When the sun shines on your skin, what does it hit? When it causes a ...

Acid resistance is a crucial property that enterobacteria must possess to withstand host acidic environments during infection ...

40,000-year-old RNA from permafrost-preserved tissue was recovered from a mammoth specimen known as Yuka. Molecular evidence from Yuka revealed a correction to the original assumption about Yuka’s sex ...
