QIMR Berghofer scientists have discovered a cancer-fighting RNA molecule that could hold the key to a new way of treating the ...

The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...

40,000-year-old RNA from permafrost-preserved tissue was recovered from a mammoth specimen known as Yuka. Molecular evidence from Yuka revealed a correction to the original assumption about Yuka’s sex ...

Increasing paternal age has been linked to elevated health risks for the next generation, including higher risks of obesity ...

Researchers showed that an RNA-based therapy targeting the SETBP1 mutation reduced the incidence of hydrocephalus in mice, ...
