How does DNA determine an organism’s characteristics? A process called translation decodes RNA created during transcription, and uses it to create proteins that perform specific cellular functions.

This process is repeated until all the codons in the mRNA have been read by tRNA molecules, and the amino acids attached to the tRNAs have been linked together in the growing polypeptide chain in ...

As the translation machinery carouses along the string of nucleotides that make up the mRNA, it recognizes them in groups of ...

mRNA jabs, such as the ones created by Moderna ... code is interpreted as it relies on groups of three bases, known as codons ...

How does a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine work? COVID vaccines are now available. Some of the COVID-19 vaccines are mRNA vaccines, but what does this mean? mRNA vaccines are different from traditional ...

This means adults have a choice in which COVID vaccine they receive: an mRNA vaccine by Moderna or Pfizer, or Novavax, a protein-based vaccine that targets the virus in a more "traditional" way.

GlaxoSmithKline has filed a lawsuit against Moderna, claiming its mRNA vaccines infringe on GSK's patents. GSK seeks royalties for Moderna's alleged unlicensed use of its groundbreaking vaccine ...

This interesting study focuses on a previously reported positive correlation between translational efficiency and protein noise. This is unexpected as typically noise is inversely related to ...

Moderna, Inc. engages in the development of transformative medicines based on messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA). Its product pipeline includes the following modalities: prophylactic vaccines ...

CureVac and partner GSK are, meanwhile, also developing an mRNA-based flu vaccine, but are a little further back in development, as their shot is in phase 1 testing.

As a reminder, in addition to the current COVID-19 vaccine, the company is actively working on a next-generation vaccine (mRNA-1283). According to phase 3 trial data (NEXTCove), the vaccine's ...

As the translation machinery carouses along the string of nucleotides that make up the mRNA, it recognises them in groups of three, called codons. Each codon corresponds to a specific amino acid.
