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 ...

Specifically, one strand of a double-stranded ... has a sequence complementary to its RNA component. Inside the eukaryotic nucleus, the nucleolus is the structure where rRNA processing and ...

UC Irvine scientists developed bioluminescent RNA tags, "tiny guiding lights," using luciferase to track RNA in real-time, ...

The majority of RNAs in each of our cells don't code for any of the thousands of proteins that make up our bodies. Instead, ...

The RNP complex is the influenza virus’s essential package, the virus’s blueprints and a copy machine all rolled in one. The ...

An RNA polymerase II molecule is about 15 nanometers across, or roughly 5,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. This image was created by reconstructing X-ray diffraction crystallography ...

Pictured is a computer-generated RNA structure tied in a trefoil knot. C. Micheletti et al. screened the several thousand RNA chains in the Protein Data Bank for the presence of knots. Only three ...

Failure of a gene-reading quality-control mechanism called Integrator leaves cells littered with abnormal RNA strands that ...

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 ...

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA then read like a recipe to build a ...
