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, ...

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 ...
Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have discovered a ribozyme that is shockingly small, yet capable of the fundamental steps of self-replication. They call it QT45 — ...
Scientists have uncovered new DNA-binding proteins from some of the most extreme environments on Earth and shown that they ...

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 ...
Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...
Scientists in the laboratory of Rendong Yang, Ph.D., associate professor of Urology, have developed a new large language model that can interpret transcriptomic data in cancer cell lines more ...
Scientists have discovered that DNA behaves in a surprising way when squeezed through tiny nanopores, overturning a long-held ...
Despite the availability of effective antihypertensive therapies, global blood pressure control rates remain unacceptably low. Contributing factors, such as low treatment adherence, therapeutic ...
