A new paper published in Nature Biotechnology this week titled, “Template-independent enzymatic synthesis of RNA oligonucleotides,” provides details of a method for synthesizing single-stranded RNA ...

While the COVID-19 vaccines introduced many people to RNA-based medicines, RNA oligonucleotides have already been on the market for years to treat diseases like Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and ...

In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...

The recognition of mRNA molecules as a transformative class of therapeutic drugs has soared, particularly with the development of COVID 19 mRNA vaccines. The cancer treatment landscape is similarly ...

RNA-based medicines are transforming the way we treat disease—offering targeted, precision therapies for conditions ranging from rare genetic disorders to widespread chronic illnesses like diabetes, ...

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 119, No. 4 (January 25, 2022), pp. 1-11 (11 pages) RNA is a ubiquitous biomolecule that can serve as both catalyst ...

Researchers say discoveries could expand the CRISPR toolbox and lead to more efficient, rapid diagnostic tools for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.
