How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

In cap-dependent translation initiation, the open reading frame (ORF) of mRNA is established by the placement of the AUG start codon and initiator tRNA in the ribosomal peptidyl (P) site. Internal ...

When Daniel Fischer cofounded Tevard Biosciences in 2017, he wasn’t trying to bet on the next hot RNA technology. His interest was more personal. His daughter Natasha has Dravet syndrome, a rare form ...

In a recent study published in Nature, a group of researchers explored how the incorporation of N1-methylpseudouridine (1-methylΨ) into messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs) affects ribosomal ...

Birds have been shaped by evolution in many ways that have made them distinct from their vertebrate cousins. Over millions of years of evolution, our feathered friends have taken to the skies, ...
