Researchers at the University of Rochester are studying the ribonucleic acid (RNA) of viruses, which could provide key information for understanding COVID-19 and developing coronavirus treatments.<\/p>\n

The University of Rochester’s Center for RNA Biology<\/a> has a unique and interdisciplinary approach to researching RNA. By including experts from across the University and the Medical Center, the Center for RNA Biology aims to enhance understanding of RNA biology and ultimately apply it to medical treatment.<\/p>\n

RNA research is key to understanding the coronavirus and developing a treatment because COVID-19 is an RNA virus. Put simply, when COVID-19 enters the body, it attaches to a person’s cells and releases RNA, which drives the virus to replicate and grow.<\/p>\n
