A 45-nucleotide strand of RNA can now synthesize both its mirror-image complement and a copy of itself, bringing scientists ...
Life may have begun when RNA molecules began to replicate themselves, and now we’ve finally found an RNA molecule that is very close to being able to do this ...
A strand of RNA just 45 nucleotides long has been discovered to perform two key reactions required for self-replication. The ...
Cambridge, have discovered a tiny RNA molecule capable of copying itself - a key step toward understanding how life may have ...
Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have discovered a ribozyme that is shockingly small, yet ...
Even those who doubt the RNA World hypothesis may be hard-pressed to argue against it. Consider the predicament faced by a team of scientists at Scripps Research. They suspected that RNA was a poor ...
Antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) hold great promise for pharmacotherapy. Now, researchers at Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) and Ionis Pharmaceuticals, advancing their earlier work on a ...
These structures are involved in the regulation of gene expression, where the double-stranded regions typically carry specific functions and, if lost, may cause severe disorders. A double-stranded ...
Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) and Ionis Pharmaceuticals, USA, report a modification wherein replacing the RNA strand of a heteroduplex oligonucleotide with DNA may ...
