RNA plays critical roles in nearly all biological processes, but current methods for sequencing RNA are significantly limited. This is partially because RNA molecules are chemically modified within ...

RNA molecules are an integral part of the human body: In cells, they ensure the transfer of genetic information and regulate the activity of genes. Some even act as catalysts, allowing chemical ...

A tiny chemical modification commonly found on messenger RNAs plays a surprisingly large role in how cells respond to stress, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The ...

CRISPR-Cas13, a powerful RNA-targeting technology is gaining increasing attention as a next-generation gene therapy platform due to its precision and reduced side effects. Utilizing this system, ...

University of Chicago researchers have developed a liquid biopsy test based on modification patterns in microbiome-derived cell-free RNA that predicts colorectal cancer (CRC) with greater accuracy ...

Researchers have developed a powerful tool capable of scanning thousands of biological samples to detect transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) modifications—tiny chemical changes to RNA molecules that help ...

Once considered passive messengers of genetic information, RNA molecules are now understood to play an active and dynamic role in gene regulation, modulated by a rich layer of chemical modifications ...

Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland and Aalto University have developed a computational framework called SegPore that enhances the accuracy of RNA modification detection from direct RNA ...
