Platform combines proprietary AI sequence optimization, novel genetic parts, and lab validation in application-relevant cell models to improve expression and half-life, delivering top candidates in ...

Life on Earth may have started with a molecule that still runs our cells today. As researchers probe ribonucleic acid in the lab and in ancient rocks and space dust, RNA is yielding clues that are far ...

Two separate laboratory breakthroughs have produced RNA molecules that can build copies of themselves or assemble functional structures without any help from proteins or DNA. These results offer the ...

In 2010, tusk hunters scouring a riverbank near Siberia’s Arctic coast discovered the mummy of a juvenile mammoth. The animal, nicknamed “Yuka” after the nearby village of Yukagir, had been frozen for ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The RNA world theory suggests that life on Earth began with RNA molecules that copied themselves. It’s believed this self-replication eventually gave rise over millions of years to DNA ...

The RNA Institute at the University at Albany’s College of Arts and Sciences presented its annual “RNA Day” celebration Friday, with a special announcement involving the employment of Artificial ...

Russell has a PhD in the history of medicine, violence, and colonialism. His research has explored topics including ethics, science governance, and medical involvement in violent contexts. Russell has ...
