In this review of RNA therapies, we paint an overview of what’s going on in a field that is addressing a number of diseases.

Science has revealed some of the secrets of the X chromosome, but many remain. In humans, female cells contain two X ...

Scientists have long believed they understood how life’s genetic code evolved, but new research upends that assumption. By analyzing ancient protein sequences, researchers discovered that early life p ...

NASA's asteroid samples contain organic compounds and minerals that may have seeded early Earth with life's building blocks.

The research shows that as long as essential genes remain intact, our genomes can tolerate significant structural changes, ...

The surprising paradigm shift could lead to much more protective sunscreens and effective skin treatments.

Researchers say they have discovered an entirely new class of life inside the human body, and it is very similar to a virus.

By tweaking the RNA code, we can adjust the therapy indication. This allows RNA therapy to be more targeted and more adaptable than DNA-based therapeutics. Do researchers know the full impact ...

New research reveals that sunburn may be caused by RNA damage, not DNA, challenging long-held beliefs about UV exposure ...

Cheat codes of viral translation One of the key findings was the discovery of previously unrecognized elements in HIV-1 RNA called upstream open reading frames (uORFs) and internal open reading ...
