RNA is a single stranded molecule containing a ribose sugar. It has a distinctive structure and, unlike DNA, there are variations and various types of RNA structures. A base is attached to the 1 ...

The prokaryotic form of RNA polymerase has four subunits capable of transcribing all types of RNA. In eukaryotes, these enzymes have eight or more subunits that facilitate the attachment and ...

Linking RNA structure and function Date: September 8, 2016 Source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology Summary: Several years ago, biologists discovered a new type of genetic material known as ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts. RNA splicing is a cellular ...

The company used whole exome and RNA sequencing to analyze 10,000 patient samples across 33 tumor types. The analysis looked at more than 400 splicing factors, turning up 199 genes with putative ...
