RNA strand that can almost self-replicate may be key to life's origins
Life may have begun when RNA molecules began to replicate themselves, and now we’ve finally found an RNA molecule that is very close to being able to do this ...
These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...
Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have discovered a ribozyme that is shockingly small, yet ...

Self-building RNA strand may expose how life on Earth truly began
Two separate laboratory breakthroughs have produced RNA molecules that can build copies of themselves or assemble functional structures without any help from proteins or DNA. These results offer the ...

RNA strand that nearly self-replicates could unlock life’s origin
A 45-nucleotide strand of RNA can now synthesize both its mirror-image complement and a copy of itself, bringing scientists closer than ever to demonstrating how life could have emerged from chemistry ...

Study explores how reversible RNA editing could transform future cardiovascular medicine
By Hugo Francisco de Souza Emerging research suggests reversible RNA editing mechanisms may influence heart disease biology while opening new avenues for biomarkers and next-generation cardiovascular ...
Chikungunya virus is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus for which no antiviral therapy has been approved. Nucleotide ...
Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they can improve rapid medical tests for infectious diseases. The work has been ...
Eli Lilly will shell out $2.4 billion to acquire genetic medicine developer Orna Therapeutics and has committed up to $8.85 billion to launch a seventh collaboration with Innovent Biologics. Both ...
A mysterious RNA found in breast cancer led scientists to uncover an entire hidden class of cancer-specific RNAs across ...
University of Queensland research has revealed that double-stranded RNA-based biopesticides (dsRNA) sprayed on plant leaves can travel right down into root systems. Led by Dr. Chris Brosnan at UQ's ...
Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...
