Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing ...

The Technion researchers' study describes an evolutionary scenario where protection arises from a reduced level of tRNA (transfer RNA), a molecule critical for gene translation. "Studies on ...

Prokaryotic organisms contain one type of rRNA gene that encodes three distinct ... which is the 3' end of the tRNA, binds to its corresponding amino acid at an attachment site that is also ...

The tRNA that corresponds to the second codon can ... and thereby fine-tune gene expression.

they introduced each of the rare codons into the gene for enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) and transfected the modified construct into the cells. When they treated the cultures with synthetic ...

A gene therapy based on an enhanced lipid nanoparticle (LNP) loaded with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA could be developed for the treatment of... BioWorld Premium Enjoy extended ...

[Gorodenkoff/Getty Images] The research team used specialized gene editing tools to identify ... comprising 16 synthetic chromosomes and a new-to-nature tRNA neochromosome,” write the investigators.

RNA acts as a messenger and regulator in the process of gene expression. Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes, where proteins are synthesized. Transfer RNA ...
