Inosine is a nucleoside that occurs naturally in transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and is essential for proper RNA translation. It is commonly found at the wobble position of anticodons, allowing for greater ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Methods, a group of researchers developed a novel method called Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) High-Order Folding Prediction Plus (RhoFold+). This deep ...

Genetic editing holds promise to treat incurable diseases, but the most popular method — CRISPR — sometimes does more harm than good. A new study from University of California San Diego and Yale ...

Researchers have now uncovered the 3D structure of the RNA enzyme SAMURI. Their study provides insights into the development of ribozymes and the evolution of catalytically active RNA. Researchers led ...

RNA could be considered DNA’s younger sibling. From the very beginning, RNA’s milestones came later and attracted less attention than DNA’s milestones. For example, the discovery of DNA’s structure ...

Ribonucleic acid, commonly known as RNA, is involved in many biological functions, and some, including gene silencing, are utilized to cure diseases. RNA has recently gained attention as a promising ...

In recent years, the scientific community has made significant strides in the field of gene editing, particularly through the development of the CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short ...
