RNA viruses are renowned for their elegant structure and finely tuned self‐assembly processes, which are critical both for viral life cycles and for potential applications in nanotechnology and ...

Researchers have now uncovered the 3D structure of the RNA enzyme SAMURI. Their study provides insights into the development of ribozymes and the evolution of catalytically active RNA. Researchers led ...

In a recent study published in the journal Cell, researchers developed a deep learning model, "LucaProt," a transformer-based AI model to detect highly divergent ribonucleic acid (RNA)-dependent RNA ...

Ancient viral fossils buried in our DNA are offering fresh clues about how today’s respiratory pathogens infect and spread. By tracing the shared architecture between long-extinct retroviruses and ...

Mammalian immunity has long been thought to rely solely on proteins and specialized immune cells. However, a newly proposed concept—RNA immunity—is reshaping this perspective. In a recent publication ...

DNA and RNA aptamers can power portable biosensors that detect viruses within minutes, with potential uses beyond clinical diagnostics in outbreak early warning and environmental monitoringRapid ...
