Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules may be best known for their job ferrying the genetic information encoded in DNA to a cell's ...

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

This manuscript characterizes a mutated clone of RNA polymerase I in yeast, referred to as SuperPol, to understand the mechanisms of RNA polymerase I elongation and termination. The authors present ...

A tiny chemical modification commonly found on messenger RNAs plays a surprisingly large role in how cells respond to stress, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

Sunlight feels good on your skin, especially on a clear day. It brings warmth and helps your body produce vitamin D. But ...

When RNA molecules are synthesized by cells—a critical process in the creation of proteins and other cellular functions—they ...

Effective mucosal immunity in the intestine involves a fine balance between tolerance of the microbiome, recognition and elimination of pathogens, and inflammatory tissue injury. The anti-inflammatory ...

A guide RNA strand, in purple, guides CRISPR to a DNA strand. Scientists devised a method to identify genes that can be suppressed to customize microbes for biotechnology applications.

Traffic on both the M1 and M4 has reached a standstill, after two major collisions cause queues across the south. Drivers have been warned to expect lengthy delays on the M1 and M4, following two ...
