UC Irvine scientists developed bioluminescent RNA tags, "tiny guiding lights," using luciferase to track RNA in real-time, ...

The RNP complex is the influenza virus’s essential package, the virus’s blueprints and a copy machine all rolled in one. The ...

K nowing the location of a gene within intact tissue or a single cell allows scientists to unlock unknown cellular functions.

An elegant screening strategy unveils a molecular actor that connects widespread changes in mRNA processing with a nutrient-sensing protein modification.

This manuscript characterizes a mutated clone of RNA polymerase I in yeast, referred to as SuperPol, to understand the mechanisms of RNA polymerase I elongation and termination. The authors present ...

In this interview, industry expert Dr. Lohit Khera discusses the evolving role of microRNA in research, diagnostics, and ...

Much of that work happened in Canada. Messenger RNA (mRNA) are large, negatively charged molecules that are easily degraded and repelled by our cells. To coax our cells to internalize them, scientists ...

A safety analysis of mRNA vaccination in a phase 1, randomized, open-label clinical trial evaluated the safety and tolerability of three investigational HIV-1 trimer mRNA vaccines. The study ...

Enhancing wheat plants' sugar signaling ability could deliver increased yields of up to 12%, according to researchers from Rothamsted, Oxford University and the Rosalind Franklin Institute ...

Moderna is currently in the very early stages of testing a bird flu vaccine using the same mRNA technology that allowed for rapid development and rollout of COVID-19 vaccines. The funds from the ...

One type of molecule that can be used to achieve that suppression is microRNA—a short RNA sequence that binds ... that a microRNA strand that represses mRNA translation is encoded within the ...
