The mRNA specifies, in triplet code, the amino acid sequence of proteins; the code is then read by transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules in a cell structure called the ribosome.

One of mRNA’s greatest advantages is the ability to rapidly iterate and optimize sequences, accelerating drug discovery and development. Advances in cell-free gene synthesis and in vitro transcription ...

A more effective vaccine technology may be on the horizon. In a new study in mice, researchers from the University of Copenhagen demonstrate that a simple addition to mRNA vaccines can significantly ...

Self-amplifying mRNA vaccines include a special mRNA that replicates itself in the cell and contains a sequence for RNA replicase, in addition to the coding sequence for the protein.

Previous studies have created language models to decode various biological sequences, including proteins and DNA, but this was the first language model to focus on the untranslated region of mRNA.

Drug manufacturers say that noninfectious parts of the SV40 DNA sequence are used to create COVID-19 vaccines, but it’s routine and not a sign of the virus contaminating the vaccine.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has repeatedly questioned the safety of mRNA vaccines against Covid-19. ... other than the RNA sequence, ... Our cells cannot convert the mRNA into DNA, ...
