In a CRISPR first, recently discovered protein has been found to act as a kind of multipurpose self-destruct system for bacteria.

RNA, the molecule that gave rise to life, has been shown to be essential for repairing human genetic material and preventing mutations

International team of researchers has identified DNA mutations in a gene that senses viral RNA, as a cause of the autoimmune disease lupus.

The missing link isn’t a not-yet-discovered fossil, after all. It’s a tiny, self-replicating globule called a coacervate droplet.

In the production of one of the origin-of-life molecules, researchers in Spain and Denmark have found a method for attacking cancer cells

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease which causes inflammation in organs and joints, affects movement and the skin, and causes fatigue.

The missing link isn’t a not-yet-discovered fossil, after all. It’s a tiny, self-replicating globule called a coacervate droplet.

According to this scenario, life on Earth was originally based on RNA only, and DNA and protein enzymes evolved later.

Researchers have for the first time been able to create an RNA molecule that replicates, diversifies and develops complexity.

Scientists debut technology that could turn off SARS-CoV-2 genes, diagnose parasitic infection, and sequence genes faster

The Serratus Project is a supercomputing collaboration that analyzed close to 6 million biological samples, or 20 million gigabytes of data.

Researchers has developed a way to deliver RNA in a capsule that can be swallowed, which they hope could make people more receptive to them.
