A new microscopic technique allows for the real-time study of RNA G-quadruplexes in living cells, with implications for the fight against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ...

Two new approaches could help scientists use existing sequencing technology to better-distinguish RNA changes that affect how their genetic code is read Kyoto University scientists are getting closer ...

RNA probably came before DNA, serving as the storehouse of genetic information and driving chemical reactions; a ...

In the latest shake-up for scientific dogma, research has demonstrated that eukaryotic cells can convert RNA sequences back into DNA, through a misunderstood, ‘error-prone’ polymerase. Historically, ...

Ribonucleic acid, commonly known as RNA, is involved in many biological functions, and some, including gene silencing, are utilized to cure diseases. RNA has recently gained attention as a promising ...

Inosine is a nucleoside that occurs naturally in transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and is essential for proper RNA translation. It is commonly found at the wobble position of anticodons, allowing for greater ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease and Stephen Hawking’s disease, is a neurodegenerative disease that results in the gradual loss of control over the muscles ...
