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 of ...

RNA can fold into more complex configurations than scientists thought, raising questions about how important these 3D structures were when life on Earth began.

The research team discovered that this type of regulation, which appears to influence the expression of about half of all human genes, is found throughout the animal kingdom, as well as in plants. The ...

Plain-language definition: RNA therapy is medicine that works by adding, blocking, or changing RNA instructions inside cells. More formally, it is a class of treatment that uses RNA molecules, or ...

CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems found in prokaryotes that defend against invading nucleic acids through CRISPR RNA-guided cleavage. Type V CRISPR-Cas (Cas12) systems, in particular, ...

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 ...

Single-cell RNA-seq AI analysis has become the default way to make sense of the millions of expression measurements a single experiment can now generate. Turning raw sequencing counts into ...

A group of interdisciplinary Boston University researchers worked together to investigate the promising technology of self-amplifying RNA as a way to deliver lifesaving drugs and create more effective ...
