A team from University of Toronto Engineering is the first to synthesize long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) outside the cell—a new approach to drug discovery that has already yielded some promising ...

For decades, scientists have recognized that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a formidable viral pathogen. After years of probing work and extensive experimentation, a Yale research team has ...

This isn't the first time RNA has been honored recently. The molecule has been something of a scientific darling of late: last year, Katalin Kariko and Drew Weissman were awarded the Nobel Prize in ...

40,000-year-old RNA from permafrost-preserved tissue was recovered from a mammoth specimen known as Yuka. Molecular evidence from Yuka revealed a correction to the original assumption about Yuka’s sex ...

Discover six RNAi biotech companies helping to drive momentum in a field that can precisely target disease at its genetic root.

The next generation RNA therapeutics market presents significant growth opportunities, driven by the development of over 100 RNA therapies and vaccines, advancing research, and robust investment ...

RIKEN researchers have discovered how an enzyme modifies gene expression by targeting certain stretches of messenger RNA ...

The era of genetic medicine has arrived. As scientists continue to unravel the mysteries of humanity’s genetic blueprint, their discoveries are driving the emergence of new types of therapies such as ...

New research from Dr. Seungjae Lee, Dr. Eric Lai, and their collaborators points to a potential opportunity to improve therapies that use small RNAs to silence disease-causing genes, potentially ...

Ancient DNA has been pulled from a permafrost-preserved woolly mammoth found in Siberia, and scientists are thrilled. They recovered and sequenced RNA, a fragile molecule that many biologists assumed ...
