Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are increasingly being applied in the field of RNA biology. These methods are used to predict RNA structures, interactions with proteins and small ...

A new biochemical method identifies RNA 3D structures and protein binding sites in cells. It reveals how RNA folding drives ...

This manuscript has convincing data that provides a high-resolution structure of the Egl-RNA complex. The findings are important to understand the formation, stability, and interactions of this ...

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules may be best known for their job ferrying the genetic information encoded in DNA to a cell's protein factories, but these molecules aren't just a middleman for protein ...

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 ...

A new method developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions allows researchers to better understand ...

RNA is fundamental to all life, governing gene expression, regulating biological processes, and influencing growth, ...

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 ...

Rutgers University–Newark researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind RNA nanotechnology. The development self-assembles inside living human cells and can be programmed to halt the growth of ...

Apart from carrying the information to encode proteins in, RNA molecules can adopt intricate 2D and 3D structures. Specifically, the same RNA molecule can switch between ON and OFF structures, ...

Cases of Borna disease virus 1, or BoDV-1, are extremely rare in humans, but in those who develop disease the outcome is severe, almost always resulting in fatal encephalitis or inflammation in the ...

Studying a trio of non-coding RNA molecules produced abundantly in bacterial cells, a SLAC/Stanford-led research team discovered extravagant, multistrand complexes made entirely of RNA—structures they ...
