Researchers at Stockholm University have extracted and sequenced the oldest known RNA molecules in the world (Cell 2025, DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2025.10.025). The ancient RNA (aRNA) comes from skin and ...

Cells in our bodies produce RNA based on genetic information stored in DNA, and RNA serves as a blueprint for making proteins. Researchers at KAIST have discovered a new phenomenon: Removing "circular ...

A new tool called SigRM helps researchers study RNA modifications in individual cells, improving our understanding of how genes are regulated. Researchers have developed a new tool that will help ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. (Credit: Denis-Art/Getty Images) The woolly mammoth is probably the single most iconic extinct mammal, leading to seemingly ...

An individual’s genome is identifiable. But datasets of RNA sequences from single cells are like a blurry photocopy of the genome. The sequence numbers are small, the data are noisy, and the sequences ...

The body of the young woolly mammoth known as Yuka was so well-preserved that scientists were able to recover ancient RNA molecules. (Valeri Plotnikov) It was 2012 when Love Dalén, a paleogeneticist ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For a molecule of RNA, the world is a dangerous place. Unlike DNA, which can persist for millions of years in its remarkably stable, ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

Scientists at Rutgers University–Newark have developed a first-of-its-kind RNA-based nanotechnology that assembles itself inside living human cells and can be programmed to stop propagation of harmful ...
