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 ...

Researchers find mutations causing developmental disabilities in humans have similar effects in yeast, aiding drug testing ...

Scientists observe ribosomal cooperation that prevents pauses in protein synthesis, revealing new dynamics for cellular ...

There is not a lot of cell-free RNA in the blood, and around 95% of it is the ribosomal RNA that makes up the cellular structures that manufacture proteins. The new blood test analyzes messenger ...

RNA modifications are changes to the chemical composition of ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules post-synthesis that have the potential to alter function or stability. An example of RNA modification ...

Researchers working with RNA-seq face a major challenge: ribosomal RNA (rRNA). While rRNA can comprise up to 90% of a total RNA sample, in most cases, it doesn’t provide information about the ...

The structure of the 28 kDa complex of the first two RNA binding domains (RBDs) of nucleolin (RBD12) with an RNA stem–loop that includes the nucleolin recognition element UCCCGA in the loop was ...

Messenger RNA (mRNA)—the molecule that carries genetic ... On the other hand, during periods of cell stress, when ribosomal activity is typically reduced, fewer ribosomes are available to ...

Whipple’s disease is a rare bacterial illness affecting multiple organs. Early diagnosis and long-term antibiotics are key to ...

This revolution is being powered by RNA technology — and Canada is uniquely positioned to lead it. While the swift development of COVID-19 vaccines appeared to be a sudden scientific triumph ...
