RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is a powerful tool in diagnosing Mendelian disorders, but the optimized sequencing depth for this ...
A new study reveals ribosomal RNA (rRNA) may play a surprising role beyond protein production. Researchers found unique rRNA ...
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 ...
They disable our defenses and hijack the cellular machinery in order to multiply successfully. For example, the herpes ...
Smaller noncoding RNA is being used in clinical practice and as knowledge grows of long noncoding RNA, use of it should follow, explained Laura Denby, PhD, Kidney Research UK Senior Fellow, senior ...
Ribonucleic acid, also called RNA, is a molecule present in all living cells. It plays a critical role in transmitting genetic instructions from DNA and creating proteins. With the power to execute a ...
A team led by Neil King, a biochemistry professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine, is now exploring a new ...
Wiring up the brain's trillions of circuit connections is an enormous job performed by a huge crew of molecules. Among the less understood members are circular RNAs, transcripts from DNA that assume a ...
A new method to detect ribonucleic acid (RNA) without needing any complex lab procedures or heating equipment has been ...
Recently, demands in RNA manufacturing for long-chain RNAs exceeding 100 nucleotides, such as single guide RNA (sgRNA) for genome editing, have been increasing. Generally, these types of RNA are ...
