Research led by Duke University, Durham, has discovered a situation-dependent traffic jam in mRNA translation caused by RNA hairpins leading to higher translation of upstream start codons (uAUGs). In ...

When the concept of RNA interference was first introduced in the early 2000s, it raised the tantalizing possibility of using RNA molecules to modify human gene expression. 1 Since then, a wide range ...

Researchers mapped HIV-1’s translation strategy, revealing RNA elements like uORFs, iORFs, and an intricate frameshift site structure that regulate viral protein synthesis. These findings highlight ...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections are associated with the risk of progression to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The HCV RNA genome is translated by an internal ribosome entry site ...

In 2018, the RNA Society endorsed Aug. 1 as annual World RNA Day, and depending on when you’re reading this article, the anniversary of that day is either upon you now or has likely passed you by ...

Life on Earth may have started with a molecule that still runs our cells today. As researchers probe ribonucleic acid in the lab and in ancient rocks and space dust, RNA is yielding clues that are far ...
