In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...
Many RNA molecules need to be cut, pasted, trimmed or chemically modified before they can function. These RNAs are involved in processing other types of RNA, including many of the ones mentioned ...
They recently published a study in Nature Communications describing a generative AI technique for designing different types of RNA molecules with improved function.
Inspired by historical work showing that structure plays a role in the function of other classes of RNA such as transfer RNA, MIT biologists have now deciphered the structure of one type of lncRNA ...
It all started in the lab. Two Boston University doctoral students, Joshua McGee and Jack Kirsch, were creating and testing different types of RNA—strands of ribonucleic acid, built from chains ...
The nuclear RNA exosome complex is involved in 3′ processing of various stable RNA species and is crucial for RNA quality control in the nucleus. It also degrades many types of cryptic ...
