The central dogma of molecular biology suggests that the primary role of RNA is to convert the information stored in DNA into proteins. In reality, there is much more to the RNA story. However ...

RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is a essential biological molecule that plays a crucial role in various cellular processes. It is a polymeric molecule composed of nucleotides, each containing a ribose sugar ...

这在很大程度上受到了过去 60 多年关于 RNA 结构的错误观念的影响。王运星实验室的研究结果颠覆和更正了这些观念，并提出了用“准等能量”分子构象转换概念，来概括全新的 RNA 分子在溶液中的行为。

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) normally serves as a messenger. It delivers the instructions from the DNA to proteins, which are the building blocks of life that turn cells into brains -- or muscles.

Two human cells making RNA made visible by the bioluminescent lantern in pink (middle image). On the left, the same cells making a fluorescent protein that’s distributed evenly throughout the two ...

The inability to deliver therapeutic RNA molecules to cell types beyond the liver is holding back the progress of RNA medicine, but Sixfold Bioscience has a solution. The company has engineered ...

Sunburn has traditionally been attributed to UV-induced DNA damage. However, a new study reveals that RNA, another vital cellular molecule, plays a major role in triggering acute sunburn reactions.

Well, you actually can. NOVA’s RNA Lab is an extension of a game called Eterna, which gets players to help scientists understand an important family of biomolecules called RNAs. Here’s how it ...

So the textbooks say. But in this study we were surprised to learn that this is a result of damage to the RNA, not the DNA that causes the acute effects of sunburn," says Assistant Professor Anna ...

记者16日从西湖大学获悉，西湖大学生命科学学院、西湖实验室申恩志团队联合吴建平团队成功揭示了小鼠体内PIWI蛋白（MILI蛋白）与piRNA协作切割目标RNA（核糖核酸）的全过程。相关研究成果于北京时间1月15日24时在线发表于《自然》杂志。

RNA plays an important role in this inactivation process. Specifically, Xist RNA, a long noncoding RNA molecule, is responsible for crumpling up one copy of an X chromosome in each female cell.
