These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...
Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint ...

RNA strand that can almost self-replicate may be key to life's origins
Life may have begun when RNA molecules began to replicate themselves, and now we’ve finally found an RNA molecule that is very close to being able to do this ...
A strand of RNA just 45 nucleotides long has been discovered to perform two key reactions required for self-replication. The ...

The "Quite Tiny" RNA molecule that could answer the question of the origin of life
Scientists on their quest to find the origin of life have stared into the primordial soup, trying to answer the ultimate ...
Two human cells making RNA made visible by the bioluminescent lantern in pink (middle image). On the left, the same cells making a fluorescent protein that's distributed evenly throughout the two ...
While the COVID-19 vaccines introduced many people to RNA-based medicines, RNA oligonucleotides have already been on the market for years to treat diseases like Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and ...
Researchers have developed RNA therapeutics, called micelles, that can delivery chemotherapeutic drugs to metastasized tumors in mouse models.
