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 ...

Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common adult-onset form of ...

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 ...

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for ...

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is one of life's most versatile molecules, with roles going far beyond being a messenger of genetic code, as it is fundamentally involved in gene regulation, processing, and ...

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, ...

Researchers have visualized how a large RNA molecule assembles itself into a functional machine. RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like ...

Japan biotech xFOREST Therapeutics is teaming up with a drug discovery solutions provider in a research pact aiming to develop new RNA structure-targeted small molecule therapeutics, including mRNA ...
