During the first step of converting genetic information into functional proteins, cells transcribe the double-stranded helix ...

Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But ...

A new study reveals that blocking ribosomal RNA production rewires cancer cell behavior and could help treat genetically ...

The tumor suppressor p53 is a transcription factor that controls the expression of hundreds of genes. Emerging evidence suggests that the p53-induced RNA-binding protein ZMAT3 is a key splicing ...

Based on several lines of interesting data, the authors conclude that FMRP, though associated with stalled ribosomes, does not determine the position on the mRNAs at which ribosomes stall. Although ...

Dynamics are intrinsic to both RNA function and structure. Yet, the available means to precisely provide RNA-based processes with spatiotemporal resolution are scarce. Here, our work pioneers a ...

During her keynote, Cheung shared details on work by her team to turn RNA discoveries into treatments for Alzheimer’s disease as well as juvenile-onset ALS. She also highlighted the need to identify ...

Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such structure, the G-quadruplex (G4), looks like a knot.

Barcelona-based genetic medicines company SpliceBio has raised $135 million in a series B round to back its novel protein-splicing drug delivery system, the biotech announced Wednesday. The money will ...
