The RNA world hypothesis gains support from the in vitro evolution of a bifunctional ribozyme that can recognize an activated glutaminyl ester and subsequently aminoacylate a tRNA molecule.

Their discoveries have real-world implications, as Eterna crowdsources RNA designs, helping scientists better understand gene expression, disease prevention, and more. The NOVA RNA Lab supports ...

The involvement of noncoding mRNAs in many regulatory processes, their abundance, and their diversity of functions has led to the hypothesis that an "RNA world" may have preceded the evolution of ...

But a team of researchers led by Kishore Guda, associate professor at the Digestive Health Research Institute at the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine, found a special class of ribonucleic acid ...

and it has pretty important implications for the RNA world theory,” he added. Study coauthors Gerald Joyce and David Horning of Scripps began with a variant of the ...

Okay, RNA is important. So what’s the problem? And how in the world can online gamers help solve it? It’s true that some RNAs are well understood, such as messenger RNAs that carry the genetic ...

“AlphaFold is now routinely used in many biology labs. NuFold would be an RNA version of AlphaFold. So, in a way, we’re extending the breakthrough of AlphaFold into the world of RNA, which has been ...
