After several weeks of public hearings and discussions by county officials and boards, Laramie County commissioners voted against the proposed Laramie Range Wind Project. The decision was made Tuesday ...

Humanin is a mitochondria‑derived micropeptide encoded within the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene. This small peptide, ...

These insights may inform personalized treatment strategies in which microbiome composition could serve as a biomarker to guide therapy selection,” the researchers wrote.

This study illustrates a valuable application of BID-seq to bacterial RNA, allowing transcriptome-wide mapping of pseudouridine modifications across various bacterial species. The evidence presented ...

We also tested differences among RNA types: messenger RNA (mRNA), which carries short-lived instructions that tell cells how to make proteins, and ribosomal RNA (rRNA), which forms part of the cell's ...

Wave’s RNA editor resulted in protein levels that were “exceedingly close” to what investors were expecting, but nevertheless fell short of that bar, according to analysts at Truist Securities. Wave ...

Researchers demonstrated how amino acids could spontaneously attach to RNA under early Earth-like conditions using thioesters, providing a long-sought clue to the origins of protein synthesis. This ...

Chemists at University College London have shown how two of biology's most fundamental ingredients, RNA (ribonucleic acid) and amino acids, could have spontaneously joined together at the origin of ...

As aging progresses, the quality of DNA and proteins inside cells declines, which is known to be the cause of various degenerative diseases. However, the connection between aging and RNA has remained ...
