One of the greatest mysteries of our planet is how a soup of lifeless chemicals transformed into the first living cell. There are several competing theories about where this happened, from frozen ...

Researchers are embarking on the RNA equivalent of the Human Genome Project, including sequencing all the chemical ...

A strand of RNA just 45 nucleotides long has been discovered to perform two key reactions required for self-replication. The molecule, which is a kind of RNA enzyme, offers a tantalising clue towards ...

Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY) announced the acquisition of Orna Therapeutics to expand into circular RNA based gene and autoimmune therapies. The company reported positive Phase 3 results for Retevmo in early ...

These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...

From vaccines and diagnostics to emerging gene-based therapies, RNA molecules are now central to modern medicine. But as ...
