"One of the things we learned in this study is that the deletion of a specific long non-coding RNA changes the expression of a particular gene called CHD2. We call CHD2 a 'Goldilocks Gene,' because ...

Researchers at University Medical Center Utrecht have uncovered a previously underappreciated mechanism that helps immune ...

A 45-nucleotide strand of RNA can now synthesize both its mirror-image complement and a copy of itself, bringing scientists closer than ever to demonstrating how life could have emerged from chemistry ...

According to the RNA world hypothesis, life began when RNA molecules evolved the ability to make more copies of themselves. Now we have discovered an RNA molecule that is almost capable of this – it ...
