A new paper, published today in Science, identifies widespread differences between DNA sequences and their corresponding RNA transcripts in human cells, and demonstrates that these differences result ...
LIFE ON EARTH may have originated with DNA's cousin RNA, but how the modern world evolved from the RNA world is still mostly unknown. Now, in a new study published last week in the journal Nature, ...
In a recent study in Nature Communications, researchers examined the adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) nucleoside editing of postmortem and live prefrontal cortical tissues. Researchers found that RNA ...
RNA, or ribonucleic acid, carries instructions between DNA and an organism's protein-building machinery, acting as a messenger to turn genetic information into proteins. RNA can reveal which genes are ...
In 2010, researchers in northeastern Siberia stumbled upon a genetic goldmine: the remarkably well-preserved remains of a juvenile woolly mammoth. The animal, named Yuka, died nearly 39,000 years ago, ...
Researchers have reported finding major differences between postmortem and living prefrontal cortex brain tissues as they relate to one of the most abundant RNA modifications in the brain, known as ...
Genetic expression, often leading to protein synthesis, requires a complex coordination of molecular machinery across several stages. A vital step in protein-coding gene expression is messenger RNA ...
