NIMS, in collaboration with Nagoya University, Gifu University, and the University of Adelaide, has developed a method for simultaneously imaging DNA and RNA inside cells using harmless infrared to ...

Mármol and his colleagues extracted RNA sequences from the muscles and skin of 10 permafrozen woolly mammoth specimens found ...

New research shows RNA is preserved for longer than scientists had realized. This is the oldest RNA ever profiled.

Researchers from Stockholm University have—for the first time ever—managed to successfully isolate and sequence RNA molecules ...

A bacterial protein helps to stop transcription -- the process of making RNA copies of DNA to carry out the functions of the cell -- by causing the cellular machinery that transcribes the DNA to pause ...

Chemists have made a discovery that supports a surprising new view of how life originated on our planet. They demonstrated that a simple compound called diamidophosphate (DAP), which was plausibly ...

A team of scientists that included researchers from UCLA has discovered a novel mechanism of RNA regulation in embryonic stem cells. The findings are strong evidence that a specific chemical ...

RNA’s Surprising Role in DNA Repair New insights could lead to improved treatments for cancer and other diseases. Francesca Storici and her research team discovered a surprising role for RNA in DNA ...

Scientists have recovered RNA from a mammoth carcass preserved in permafrost for 40,000 years. The ancient molecules reveal details about the creature’s last moments.

Three of the mammoth samples yielded ancient RNA fragments, particularly the sample from Yuka. Previously assumed to be a female mammoth, their analysis showed that Yuka had fragments of RNA from ...
