Researchers at Utah State University have reported a previously unrecognised CRISPR immune response in which a bacterial ...

Researchers say discoveries could expand the CRISPR toolbox and lead to more efficient, rapid diagnostic tools for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most ...

tRNAs have a distinct cloverleaf secondary structure and an L-shaped tertiary structure. The cloverleaf structure is formed by the folding of the single-stranded tRNA molecule, which is typically ...

The new findings strengthen the "RNA world" hypothesis that describes how the first life on Earth could have used RNA instead ...
