In a recent study posted to bioRxiv*, researchers evaluated the early replication kinetics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Study: Visualization of early RNA ...
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an enveloped coronavirus with a single-stranded RNA genome. The SARS-CoV-2 exhibits moderate genetic variability, owing to the built ...
Two separate laboratory breakthroughs have produced RNA molecules that can build copies of themselves or assemble functional structures without any help from proteins or DNA. These results offer the ...
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have created an RNA molecule that can not just replicate, but “evolve” into a diverse range of more complex molecules. This find could plug a major gap in the ...
Bacteriophages, or phages for short, are viruses that infect bacteria. Using phages therapeutically could be very useful in fighting antibiotic-resistant pathogens, but the molecular interactions ...
Chemists have demonstrated how RNA (ribonucleic acid) might have replicated itself on early Earth -- a key process in the origin of life. Chemists at UCL and the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology ...
Now, a pair of Scripps Research Institute scientists has taken a significant step toward answering that question. The scientists have synthesized for the first time RNA enzymes that can replicate ...
