Researchers validated panels of antibodies targeting clinically relevant nucleic acid modifications to visualize antisense oligonucleotides in both in vitro and in vivo studies. The tools enable detection of modified nucleic acids irrespective of sequence, facilitating multiple clinical and pre-clinical workflows.

Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology discovered that RNA's chemical ancestors can spontaneously form spiral strands in plain water without catalysts or enzymes. The spiraling integrated another compound, forming a structure similar to RNA, and demonstrated the possibility of an early evolutionary path for RNA.
