The enzyme RNA polymerase (RNAP) carries out transcription, copying DNA into RNA. It's the first step in gene expression, and a process fundamental to all life. But the inner workings of this ...

Researchers led by Davide Incarnato at the University of Groningen have demonstrated that the FDA-approved cancer drug mitoxantrone works against RNA not simply by attaching to it, but by forcing it ...

A new method developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions allows researchers to better understand how RNA works. The method is a powerful strategy for identifying intricate ...

For decades, circular RNA was treated as little more than molecular background noise — stable fragments that accumulated in ...

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, the Salk Institute and Sanford Burnham Prebys have ...

New research shows how certain orphan noncoding RNA — oncRNA — can be predictable enough to be a ‘bar code’ identifying ...

RNA rewards companies that can integrate biology, data science, manufacturing, and clinical development into a single ...

Researchers developed a new RNA sequencing strategy that can reveal how genetic variants disrupt gene function and improve the diagnosis of rare diseases. The study team demonstrated that this ...

A study identifies a novel self-replicating circular RNA in hot springs, revealing unexpected diversity of RNA replicators, ...
