Several years ago, biologists discovered a new type of genetic material known as long noncoding RNA. This RNA does not code for proteins and is copied from sections of the genome once believed to be ...

RNA molecules exhibit an astonishing diversity in structure, which is integral to their myriad cellular functions ranging from gene regulation to catalysis. Advances in experimental techniques and ...

RNA modifications play crucial roles in gene regulation, cellular function and the response to environmental stimuli. However, the detection and characterization of these modifications remain ...

RNA molecules are an integral part of the human body: In cells, they ensure the transfer of genetic information and regulate the activity of genes. Some even act as catalysts, allowing chemical ...

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 ...

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...
