An individual’s genome is identifiable. But datasets of RNA sequences from single cells are like a blurry photocopy of the genome. The sequence numbers are small, the data are noisy, and the sequences ...

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...

First, let’s start with the basics. All living things have a genome. Genomes are made of DNA. Each of your cells has a copy of your genome packed inside of it. You can think of it like an instruction ...

Researchers at Northeastern University in Boston have created a hybrid model to better understand how RNA’s structure and functional dynamics control biological systems. This modeling strategy ...

Now, a pair of Scripps Research Institute scientists has taken a significant step toward answering that question. The scientists have synthesized for the first time RNA enzymes that can replicate ...

A new study has found a connection between special patterns in RNA sequences within the ribosome -- the cell's protein production machinery -- and genes known to contribute towards psychiatric ...

A new study reveals ribosomal RNA (rRNA) may play a surprising role beyond protein production. Researchers found unique rRNA patterns repeated in nervous system genes, many tied to autism, ADHD, ...
