The RNA world hypothesis proposes that early life was based on RNA, which subsequently devolved the storage of information to more stable DNA, and catalytic functions to more versatile proteins.

Nadine and David Lipworth have devoted their lives to finding treatment that will restore the daughter they knew.

In cancer research, one person's junk is increasingly becoming another person's treasure. Scientists have now uncovered new evidence showing how recently evolved "junk DNA" genetic elements can become ...

We now understand that genomes in all three domains of life produce functional RNAs that do not encode proteins (non-coding (nc)RNAs), but do exert important influences on diverse cellular processes.

In cancer research, one person's junk is increasingly becoming another person's treasure. Scientists have uncovered new evidence showing how recently evolved "junk DNA" genetic elements can become ...

RNA chaperones are gaining traction as a way to keep the RNA-binding protein TDP-43 in its physiological conformation and prevent it from clumping up. Now, scientists offer a way to make these ...

The burden of cancer is grave, global, and continuing to grow. Researchers are working to develop new approaches and broaden the reach of existing modalities by bolstering traditional therapies, ...

Breakthrough discovery of fungal long non-coding RNA attack mechanism could enable greener, broad-spectrum disease-resistant rice and wheat varieties Chinese scientists have uncovered a previously ...

The “dark proteome” includes uncharacterized proteins that may influence cancer growth, immune evasion, and therapy ...

Synonymous DNA substitutions have often been viewed as quiet changes because they do not alter the amino acid sequence of a ...
