Abstract

In the grand narrative of molecular biology, DNA often takes center stage as the genetic blueprint of life, while proteins command the spotlight as the molecular workhorses executing cellular functions. Yet, amidst this spotlight, a quiet protagonist silently orchestrates the intricate dance of cellular processes: RNA. RNA biology, a vibrant and rapidly evolving field, delves into the multifaceted roles of RNA molecules in gene expression, regulation, and cellular function. From the discovery of messenger RNA (mRNA) as the intermediary between DNA and protein synthesis to the elucidation of non-coding RNAs as key players in gene regulation, RNA biology has emerged as a cornerstone of modern biology, offering profound insights into the intricacies of life’s molecular machinery.
