Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) serve as messengers between DNA and protein production, and perform a wide variety of regulatory functions across different cellular processes. This makes them an interesting ...

On the left are three forms of the same RNA molecule, which is stabilised into a single form (on the right) by mitoxantrone. Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) serve as messengers between DNA and protein ...

rna-score provides tools to download, process, and score RNA 3D structures using statistical models of interatomic distances. The tool is available as a Python CLI tool AND a library package AND is ...

An innovative three-color method for capturing images of mRNA inside live mammalian cells has been developed by UMass Amherst chemists. Because RNA is both incredibly important to human life and ...

Cancer cells are relentless in their quest to grow and divide, often rewiring their metabolism and modifying RNA to stay one step ahead. Now, researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive ...

Full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing using nanopore technology has become increasingly relevant for profiling complex microbial communities, including the human oral microbiome. Primer selection plays ...

Soil viruses control the dynamics and metabolism of their hosts, strongly modifying carbon and nutrient cycling as well as soil biochemistry. Warming specifically affects viruses and their hosts, but ...

Eukaryotic Polα-primase contains DNA polymerase (Pol1) and RNA primase subunits that together synthesize a >20-nucleotide hybrid RNA–DNA primer. Bacteria and archaea only require a dozen or less RNA ...

The 16S rRNA gene is crucial for bacterial identification, but primer biases and intergenomic variation can compromise its effectiveness, especially in complex ecosystems like the human gut microbiome ...

Abstract: RNA binding proteins (RBPs) play a crucial role in regulating biological functions through their interactions with specific RNAs, significantly impacting various life processes.
