Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have discovered a ribozyme that is shockingly small, yet capable of the fundamental steps of self-replication. They call it QT45 — ...

One of the greatest mysteries of our planet is how a soup of lifeless chemicals transformed into the first living cell. There are several competing theories about where this happened, from frozen ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...

Life may have begun when RNA molecules began to replicate themselves, and now we’ve finally found an RNA molecule that is very close to being able to do this ...

The latest exhibit at Orange County Regional History Center may get creative juices flowing and prompt waves of nostalgia. “Animationland” provides hands-on artistic activities, and its companion ...

YouTube has confirmed a widespread upload issue that delays video processing for upwards of 30 minutes and is also looking for a fix. Uploading a video to YouTube is typically a pretty quick process.

A new research paper featured as the cover of Volume 17, Issue 12 of Aging-US was published on December 22, 2025, titled "A combination of differential expression and network connectivity analyses ...

As RNA therapeutics evolve far beyond their vaccine origins, a new generation of scientists and manufacturers is rethinking how to produce these complex medicines safely, efficiently, and at scale.

When a gene is expressed, its DNA sequence is transcribed into a molecule known as RNA. Then the cell processes and edits that RNA before it is translated into protein. Many genes can be processed and ...
