Life on Earth may have started with a molecule that still runs our cells today. As researchers probe ribonucleic acid in the ...

RNA viruses frequently bypass the conventional 5′ cap‐dependent mechanism of translation by employing alternative strategies that enable them to commandeer the host’s translational machinery. A ...

RNA-binding proteins use a dual binding mechanism involving zinc finger (ZnF) domains and intrinsically disordered regions (IDR), reports a new study from Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. Using ...

RNA gene scissors (CRISPR-Cas13) are gaining significant attention as a next-generation gene therapy with fewer side effects. They can suppress infection by eliminating viral RNA, such as in ...
