The cell's version of the multiverse! Here, the focus is on three-stranded DNA and RNA triplex structures. Their biological relevance is now coming into focus.

While great strides have been made in exploring the world of RNA, mysteries remain—and one approach to solving them is to look at what exactly a strand of RNA is doing in a cell in real time. At ...

RNA viruses — including coronaviruses — have genetic material consisting of a single ribonucleic acid (RNA) strand, as opposed to double-stranded DNA in DNA viruses, like Herpes viruses.

Thanks to new RNA vaccines, we humans have been able to protect ourselves incredibly quickly from new viruses like SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. These vaccines insert a piece of ...

Scientists have designed a new method for detecting and analyzing double-stranded RNA during the manufacture of messenger RNA products. The team of Anubhav Tripathi, PhD, from Brown University ...

A new pediatric brain cancer treatment uses a short RNA strand to shut down a deadly mutation. Introducing into a cell an exact match for a mutant protein’s mRNA, called an antisense oligonucleotide ...

Duke, MIT, and Stanford scientists create RNA technology that could improve genetic therapies The inventions, independently made by the three groups, could lead to safer mRNA medicines and gene ...

While each RNA strand contains the same genetic sequence, the strands are shown in a variety of colors to make them easier to distinguish. The simulation reveals that when long repeat RNAs clump ...

Similar to a light switch, RNA switches (called riboswitches) determine which genes turn "on" and "off." Although this may seem like a simple process, the inner workings of these switches have ...
