A new study has discovered an unprecedented pathway producing telomerase RNA from a protein-coding messenger RNA (mRNA). For the very first time, a study led by Julian Chen and his group in Arizona ...

Researchers at Arizona State University’s (ASU) School of Molecular Sciences and the Biodesign Institute’s Center for the Mechanism of Evolution have discovered an unprecedented pathway producing ...

Arizona State University scientists have discovered an unprecedented pathway in a fungus to produce telomerase RNA (TER) from a protein-encoding messenger RNA (mRNA). Unlike in animals and other fungi ...

More than 60 years after its discovery, scientists are still learning surprising ways DNA stores and translates instructions ...

For a protein-coding mRNA, “life” should be pretty simple: get assembled through transcription, produce a protein through translation, then get recycled by cellular machinery so you can do it all ...

DNA and RNA vaccines use genetic material to deliver information to human cells and elicit an immune response. DNA vaccines are safe, easy, affordable to produce, and, unlike RNA vaccines, are stable ...

Biopharma has been quickly ramping up investment in messenger RNA (mRNA), the defining technology behind the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech SARS-CoV-2 vaccines. With big plans for mRNA-based therapies, ...
