A metabolic enzyme studied for over seven decades has a hidden second function—it can unwind RNA and promote cell cycle progression, an additional function beyond its role in energy production, ...

To understand the human genome, scientists focused on protein-coding genes and their functions for decades. This has given us ...

An interdisciplinary research team from two working groups at the Center for Synthetic Biology at TU Darmstadt has developed ...

RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...

A new sequencing-based method uses molecular barcodes to trace synaptic connections among neurons. The approach enables large ...

Nanoparticles that deliver self-amplifying RNA were found to reduce scarring and improve heart function in animals following ...

A study of a bacteria commonly used in dairy fermentation revealed how organized RNA helixes, called riboswitches, can combine different signals to keep gene expression in check. Researchers from the ...
