Ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules may be best known for their job ferrying the genetic information encoded in DNA to a cell's ...

In the earliest hours after fertilization, an embryo takes its first steps toward becoming a living organism by shedding ...

This valuable study provides insights into a key question in comparative neuroanatomy and development. The authors provide evidence of the role for a particular micro-RNA in regulating the development ...

Viruses are known to use the genetic machinery of the human cells they invade to make copies of themselves. As part of the ...

Failure of a gene-reading quality-control mechanism called Integrator leaves cells littered with abnormal RNA strands that ...

The only remaining autonomous 'jumping gene' can only attach to, and stitch a copy of itself into, DNA when it builds up into large clusters and only as cells divide.

When RNA molecules are synthesized by cells—a critical process in the creation of proteins and other cellular functions—they ...

A tiny chemical modification commonly found on messenger RNAs plays a surprisingly large role in how cells respond to stress, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.
