A new paper, published today in Science, identifies widespread differences between DNA sequences and their corresponding RNA transcripts in human cells, and demonstrates that these differences result ...

LIFE ON EARTH may have originated with DNA's cousin RNA, but how the modern world evolved from the RNA world is still mostly unknown. Now, in a new study published last week in the journal Nature, ...

Scientists successfully sequence the RNA from woolly mammoths found in Siberia that lived up between 10,000 thousand and 50,000 years ago.

In a recent study in Nature Communications, researchers examined the adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) nucleoside editing of postmortem and live prefrontal cortical tissues. Researchers found that RNA ...

The Living Brain Project showed that live brain samples from patients undergoing deep brain stimulation revealed differences ...

Blanton S. Tolbert, professor of chemistry at the College of Arts and Sciences, and his research group study the basic biochemistry of viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

In 2010, researchers in northeastern Siberia stumbled upon a genetic goldmine: the remarkably well-preserved remains of a juvenile woolly mammoth. The animal, named Yuka, died nearly 39,000 years ago, ...

Researchers have reported finding major differences between postmortem and living prefrontal cortex brain tissues as they relate to one of the most abundant RNA modifications in the brain, known as ...
