The ELAV protein binds to specific regions of the precursor RNA, namely to so-called reverse complementary sequences (RCMs) in the introns flanking the "backsplice junction" (BSJ) that is crucial for ...

Although the genetic material of most living organisms is DNA, various self-replicating agents rely instead on RNA, including ...

Cells in our bodies produce RNA based on genetic information stored in DNA, and RNA serves as a blueprint for making proteins. Researchers at KAIST have discovered a new phenomenon: Removing "circular ...

University of Delaware’s Mona Batish is a molecular biologist. She studies circular RNAs formed as a result of so-called molecular mistakes that occur when a strand of RNA — the ribonucleic acid that ...
