Researchers have revealed early conditions under which RNA and amino acids may have combined, giving rise to the origin of life on Earth.| The Debrief
Nell’isola siciliana di Pantelleria, un team di ricercatori italiani ha identificato un ambiente naturale con analogie geologiche con Marte e che potrebbe simulare anche le condizioni della Terra primordiale. di Redazione| Pikaia
Transfection is a core technique in molecular biology used to introduce foreign nucleic acids—such as DNA, RNA, or small RNAs like siRNA, shRNA, and miRNA—into eukaryotic cells. This enables researchers to manipulate gene expression and study cellular processes, disease mechanisms and therapeutic strategies (1). Advances in transfection technology now support a range of nucleic acid […] The post Why mRNA Transfection Is Transforming Transient Expression Workflows appeared first on Prome...| Promega Connections
The RNA World Hypothesis is a concept put forth in the 1960s by Carl Woese, Francis Crick and Leslie Orgel. It proposes that earlier life forms may have used RNA alone for the storage of genetic material.| News-Medical
Antibiotic resistance is a growing global issue. According to the CDC, antibiotic resistance was associated with almost 5 million deaths in 2019. In the U.S., more than 2.8 million antimicrobial-resistant infections occur annually, killing more than 35,000 people. Researchers at Rockefeller University developed a platform to identify drug resistance genes in the environment before they… The post New technique could help solve the antibiotic resistance problem appeared first on Drug Discov...| Drug Discovery and Development

The definition of life has long been under constant debate within the life sciences. The more we push the boundaries of knowledge and explore our planet, the more difficult it becomes to reach a consensus. While some defend the idea that living organisms are those exhibiting basic metabolism, others argue that the ability to reproduce — either independently or by exploiting the metabolism of another life form — is essential.| Biomedical Odyssey
First there was the genetic revolution — the discovery that physical structures in the cell, including DNA and RNA, shape every organism. Now, says evolutionary biologist Richard Sternberg…| Discovery Institute
This blog post is written as a dialogue between two imaginary characters, one of them representing myself (H) and the other a stubborn straw man (S). It is broken into four parts: the dogma, the insight, the decoy, and the clues. If you do not feel like reading the whole thing, you can skip to […] The post Breaking Free from Neural Networks and Dynamical Systems first appeared on Life Is Computation.| Life Is Computation
