An elegant screening strategy unveils a molecular actor that connects widespread changes in mRNA processing with a nutrient-sensing protein modification.

A tiny chemical modification commonly found on messenger RNAs plays a surprisingly large role in how cells respond to stress, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The ...

This manuscript characterizes a mutated clone of RNA polymerase I in yeast, referred to as SuperPol, to understand the mechanisms of RNA polymerase I elongation and termination. The authors present ...

Yale researchers have now developed a method to map and measure the structure of RNA as it develops, an advance that may help ...

In recent years, mRNA technology enabled the rapid development of vaccines to fight COVID-19, saving millions of lives. That same mRNA-powered approach to medicine—in which synthetic mRNA is ...

At least 15 other states have pending bills seeking to ban Covid-19 or mRNA vaccine mandates, establish a vaccine bill of rights, or prohibit any immunization containing mRNA material. Some bills ...

Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA. mRNA is synthesized by the enzyme RNA polymerase. This occurs by using the sequence of bases in a DNA strand to ...

How do mRNA vaccines work? mRNA vaccines teach the immune system to target specific proteins, often proteins found on a pathogen, like a virus. To do this, they use instructions carried in a ...
