GRENOBLE, France — After nearly 40 years of research, scientists may be closer than ever to permanently knocking out the flu. Researchers in France have taken a groundbreaking look inside the ...

For decades, biology has relied on one central assumption: the genetic code is precise. DNA is transcribed into RNA, RNA is ...

Genes are the building blocks of life, and the genetic code provides the instructions for the complex processes that make organisms function. But how and why did it come to be the way it is? Subscribe ...

RNA allows the transport and interpretation of genetic code within DNA. Messenger RNA (mRNA) carries protein information from the DNA in a cell’s nucleus to the cell’s cytoplasm or fluid interior. RNA ...

John Mattick is a professor of RNA biology at the University of New South Wales Sydney in Australia and author of RNA, the Epicenter of Genetic Information. “Folding into origami-like shapes, it can ...

In a recent preprint* uploaded to the bioRxiv server, researchers developed and trained a foundational model to predict tissue-specific RNA expression, splicing, RNA binding protein specificity, and ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. This chart was used in the National ...

A codon, a sequence of three nucleotides in DNA and RNA that codes for a specific amino acid, acts like an “instruction manual” for protein synthesis, telling the cell which of the 20 natural amino ...
