Just as two DNA strands naturally arrange themselves into a helix, DNA's molecular cousin RNA can form hairpin-like loops. But unlike DNA, which has a single job, RNA can play many parts -- including ...

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common adult-onset form of ...

New methods to shape RNA molecules into circles could lead to more effective and long-lasting therapies, shows a new study. The advance holds promise for a range of diseases, offering a more enduring ...

A research team from the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore (CSI Singapore) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) has successfully harnessed artificial intelligence (AI) and deep-learning ...

Researchers from the US and Denmark have captured 3D images of individual RNA nanoparticles during their folding process. Using advanced electron microscopy, the team uncovered new insights into the ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 119, No. 50 (December 13, 2022), pp. 1-12 (12 pages) R-loops, or RNA:DNA hybrids, can induce DNA damage, which ...

Wiring up the brain's trillions of circuit connections is an enormous job performed by a huge crew of molecules. Among the less understood members are circular RNAs, transcripts from DNA that assume a ...
