Noncoding RNAs are proving to be critical players in the evolution of brain anatomy and cognitive complexity.

Neurologically important noncoding RNAs come in many shapes and sizes.

Guthrie established foundational concepts in the field of pre-mRNA splicing during her career at the University of California, San Francisco.

An in situ map of copy number variations in prostate tissue reveals that purportedly cancerous genomic changes frequently occur in the healthy tissue surrounding tumors.

Genetic variants that reduce the editing levels of double-stranded RNA are associated with autoimmune and immune-mediated conditions, a study finds.

The molecular biologist studies how chemical modifications to RNA building blocks change the way RNA regulates complex cellular processes.

Researchers engineered strands of RNA that can link amino acids together, suggesting a way that RNA and proteins may have emerged together to create the earliest forms of life.

The discovery could add weight to the hypothesis that the building blocks of life on Earth originally came from space, but some scientists note the possibility of contamination.

The biophysicist shared the 1989 Prize in Chemistry for discovering RNA’s catalytic properties.

The Scientist spoke with Ohio State University microbiologist Matthew Sullivan about a recent expedition that identified thousands of RNA viruses from water samples and cataloged them into novel phylogenic groups.

A new method helps researchers uncover the rules of ribosome recruitment in yeast.

Biomarkers in serum correlate with preeclampsia, a condition that can lead to fatal hypertension.

Researchers identify a sensor that sets off inflammation in the absence of infection when it detects RNA from the mobile genetic elements.
