Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed two innovative deep-learning ...

The metaphors we used to describe DNA make it sound almost sacred. Proteins, too, are revered. They are the “workhorses of the cell.” They make things happen. RNA, by contrast, has not been so exalted ...

There are many molecules with therapeutic potential, but it can be a challenge to deliver them to the right places at the right times. RNA is one such molecule; the sequences for different proteins ...

Enzymes called RNA polymerases transcribe DNA into RNA. RNA is the intermediary that carries the information contained within DNA to the ribosomes, where the genetic information is synthesized into ...

Years of experiments and databases filled with RNA-seq results belie the simple reality that, until fairly recently, it was impossible to analyze RNA directly. The RNA-seq studies performed with ...

Hidden RNA signals in sperm reveal an "aging cliff" that could impact offspring health.

According to research from a team at the University of Utah Health and the University of Nevada, Reno School of Medicine, ...

Mounting evidence from research on nematodes to mice indicate that a father's environment, such as what he eats or if he is ...
