A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular genetic structures, termed obelisks, differ from known viruses and bacteria and ...

Viruses are entities that have to infect other cells in order to replicate. They may have genomes that are made of DNA or RNA. We are still discovering new types of RNA viruses, as shown in two new ...

The intricate dynamics of RNA biology in plant interactions with biotic factors, including both microbes and insects, have a major impact on plant health and productivity. Understanding the molecular ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are increasingly being applied in the field of RNA biology. These methods are used to predict RNA structures, interactions with proteins and small ...
