There has been a plethora of experimental approaches that combine traditional chemical probing techniques with next-generation sequencing. These methods have allowed the first glimpse of the 'RNA ...

The more researchers examine RNA, the more surprises they continue to uncover. What have we learned about RNA structure and function so far? Although RNA is a single-stranded molecule, researchers ...

Researchers have solved the the structure of the complex formed when mRNA is being scanned to find the starting point for translating RNA into a protein. The discovery provides a new understanding of ...

New studies shed light on how mRNAs are born and how they regulate production of proteins inside of our cells once they reach maturity. The findings have implications not only for achieving effective ...

It took a global pandemic, but the critical role of messenger RNA in all of life’s functions has taken center stage in the past year with the successful rollout of mRNA vaccines to combat the SARS-Cov ...
