Life on Earth may have started with a molecule that still runs our cells today. As researchers probe ribonucleic acid in the ...
Life runs on instructions you never see. Every cell reads DNA, turns that message into RNA, and then builds proteins that ...
The relationship between RNA sequences and their resultant structures is central to understanding evolutionary processes and molecular robustness. Genotype–phenotype mapping studies reveal how subtle ...

DNA is the backbone of the genetic code so, logically, decoding and understanding the genetic sequence along with epigenetic modifications came first. Yet, RNA and the emerging field of ...
WASHINGTON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - Scientists have recovered the oldest-known RNA, a molecule necessary for most biological functions, from a woolly mammoth that inhabited Siberia about 39,000 years ago, ...
