RNA viruses frequently bypass the conventional 5′ cap‐dependent mechanism of translation by employing alternative strategies that enable them to commandeer the host’s translational machinery. A ...

Cancer, a disease with global impact, is intricately linked to dysregulated gene expression, which is influenced by both genetic mutations and epigenetic changes, including RNA modifications. A ...

RIKEN researchers have discovered how an enzyme modifies gene expression by targeting certain stretches of messenger RNA ...

Inosine is a nucleoside that occurs naturally in transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and is essential for proper RNA translation. It is commonly found at the wobble position of anticodons, allowing for greater ...

Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories together to survive when energy is low.

This image illustrates the process of gene transcription within a cell. The DNA double helix unwinds to expose a specific sequence, allowing RNA polymerase to synthesize a complementary pre-mRNA ...
