For the first time, scientists can view RNA molecules directly inside cells and tissue in minute detail and across the entire human genome concurrently, thanks to new technology created by a Yale ...

Over the last few years, scientists and entrepreneurs have flocked to developing medicines that target RNA, the genetic blueprint that cells in our bodies use to make proteins. RNA has been in the ...

We’re celebrating 180 years of Scientific American. Explore our legacy of discovery and look ahead to the future. In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of ...

Rapid precision run-on sequencing (rPRO-seq) may help doctors understand disease states and treatment response in real time. Researchers at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center (FL, USA) have ...

(MEMPHIS, Tenn. – June 17, 2025) Single-cell RNA sequencing provides scientists with important information about gene expression in health and disease. However, the technique is expensive and often ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...
