Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...

The impact of environmental conditions on the dynamic structures of RNAs in living cells has been revealed by innovative technology. The impact of environmental conditions on the dynamic structures of ...

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, ...

Life on Earth may have started with a molecule that still runs our cells today. As researchers probe ribonucleic acid in the lab and in ancient rocks and space dust, RNA is yielding clues that are far ...

Noncoding RNA folds into intricate shapes that determine its function, but the rules of nucleotide patterns that determine these shapes are largely unknown. Now, an online game that tasks users to ...

Biologists at Indiana University Bloomington have shown that the surfaces of plant leaves are coated with a diverse array of RNA molecules. The finding suggests that the RNA present on the leaf ...

The impact of environmental conditions on the dynamic structures of RNAs in living cells has been revealed by innovative technology developed by researchers at the John Innes Centre. The research, the ...
