DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into proteins. This is the central dogma of molecular biology – a mantra taught to every biology undergraduate student to be recalled and expanded ...

RNA interference using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) has become a mainstay of functional gene characterization and has ...

Peking University, June 27, 2025: To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian cells, researchers from Peking University ...

CRISPR-Cas13, a powerful RNA-targeting technology is gaining increasing attention as a next-generation gene therapy platform due to its precision and reduced side effects. Utilizing this system, ...

Biologists have discovered that disruptions in transfer RNA function can lead to the development of cleft lip and cleft palate. Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common birth defects, ...

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is critical in regulating plant gene expression, growth, and stress responses, with structural motifs ...

National University of Singapore (NUS) researchers have devised a method to safely and temporarily "switch off" and then "turn on" ribonucleic acid (RNA) inside cells. This is achieved using ...
