When MIT neurobiologists tracked how more than 200 motor neurons in fruit flies each edited their RNA, they cataloged hundreds of target sites and widely varying editing rates. Scores of edits altered ...

The natural RNAi mechanism can be directed by either short interfering RNA (siRNA) or microRNA (miRNA). 1 There are four key steps in the RNAi pathway. When miRNA acts as the guide for RNAi, only a ...

RNA is a naturally occurring nucleic acid present in all living cells. There is no evidence that a synthetic version of it is being added to commercial chicken feed. Aside from a current outbreak of ...
