"We assume that a previously hidden human RNA repair mechanism underlies this biological function of C12orf29. We now need to examine this mechanism in further studies," Marx says. More ...

It's likely that these modifications are also present in other eukaryotes, including humans and probably represent a general mechanism to regulate the lifetime of RNA molecules and gene expression ...

A bacterial protein helps to stop transcription -- the process of making RNA copies of DNA to carry ... We are interested in understanding the mechanisms that allow the cell to stop transcription ...

A team at ORIGINS, a Munich-based Cluster of Excellence, has demonstrated a mechanism that could have enabled the first RNA molecules to stabilize in the primordial soup. When two RNA strands ...

New research has identified a critical fall-back mechanism used by the cells when the usual RNA editing process is switched off. Professor Carl Walkley heads the RNA Biology and Innate Immune ...

The company adds that today’s proof-of-mechanism data are the first-ever clinical demonstration of RNA editing in humans. These data are from the first single-dose cohort (200 mg) in ...
