Scientists have extracted the oldest RNA molecules out of a woolly mammoth, gaining a snapshot into the processes at work in ...

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 ...

In a new study, scientists at The Wistar Institute report the first direct evidence that RNA editing is essential to mammalian embryo development. RNA editing is a normal but not yet fully understood ...

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is one of life's most versatile molecules, with roles going far beyond being a messenger of genetic ...

The IDR in TAF2 steers the protein away from active gene promoters, where it participates in transcription initiation, to nuclear speckles — liquid-like compartments that concentrate factors for RNA ...

Bodybuilders and cellular mechanisms agree generating protein is a heavy lift. To complete the task, cells rely on complexes called spliceosomes. These molecular machines snip extra bits out of our ...

In 2018, the RNA Society endorsed Aug. 1 as annual World RNA Day, and depending on when you’re reading this article, the anniversary of that day is either upon you now or has likely passed you by ...

This article is part of a series on viroids. The first, which can be read here, gave an overview of what viroids are and how they replicate. The second article described the plant host range of ...
