Scientists examine the mummified remains of a 39,000-year-old mammoth nicknamed Yuka, whose tissue yielded ancient RNA in a ...

Now, scientists have published incredible findings from a Siberian mammoth they've named Yuka, revealing that they've found mostly intact RNA that can be dated to around 40,000 years old. It's an ...

Scientists have recovered RNA from a mammoth carcass preserved in permafrost for 40,000 years. The ancient molecules reveal details about the creature’s last moments.

Instead of fixing one of the many genes that can be mutated, the technique addresses a type of mutation they share, a stop ...

Illustration of RNA bound to zinc-finger antiviral protein (ZAP). ZAP binds cytosine and guanine dinucleotides in viral RNA to prevent the virus from replicating and spreading infection. The ...

New research offers a unique insight into the lives of mammoths during the last Ice Age. "Such studies could fundamentally ...

Illustrations of double-stranded DNA, RNA and a wormlike bead chain model. The radial distribution of the end-to-end distance, Ree, and contour length, L, are shown. This image may be used only with ...

Within each cell, there is a constant struggle between life-sustaining molecules and molecules that could hasten its demise. For the first time, scientists have created a molecule that can identify ...

A thorough evaluation of the transcriptome is provided by high-resolution RNA analysis using next-generation sequencing (RNA-seq), enabling the measurement of global gene expression. The use of ...

In GEN’s initial A-List published in 2018, the top five public companies generated a combined $1.536 billion in revenues for 2017 and the first three quarters of 2018. By contrast, the top five public ...
