In human cells, only a small proportion of the information written in genes is used to produce proteins. How does the cell ...

Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing ...

UMD researchers have discovered key mechanisms in gene regulation that could improve the design of RNA-based medicines.

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

Researchers uncover key mechanisms in gene regulation that may lead to better design of RNA-based medicines.

RNA-based medicines are one of the most promising ways to fight human disease, as demonstrated by the recent successes of RNA ...

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the nucleic acid polymer that forms the genetic code for a cell or virus. Most DNA molecules consist of two polymers (double-stranded) of four nucleotides that each ...

MORE - New Champions League draw: How does it work? 36 sides entered into the new “league phase,” and now there are 24 remaining. 8 have already gone through to the round of 16, while sides finishing ...

Structure-based drug design is the design and optimization of a chemical structure with the goal of identifying a compound suitable for clinical testing — a drug candidate. It is based on ...
