Despite being made from a relatively simple set of building blocks, ribonucleic acid (RNA) has a broad array of complex ...

National University of Singapore (NUS) researchers have devised a method to safely and temporarily "switch off" and then "turn on" ribonucleic acid (RNA) inside cells. This is achieved using ...

This study illustrates a valuable application of BID-seq to bacterial RNA, allowing transcriptome-wide mapping of pseudouridine modifications across various bacterial species. The evidence presented ...

Steven McKnight and Dirk Görlich received the Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award for their work on the role of ...

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are actively expressed at any given time in a cell determines what type of cell it ...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), manmade chemicals that accumulate in the body over time, have been linked to liver disease and cancer, but it is not yet clear how they cause damage.

The new system developed by Professor Chad Mirkin delivers CRISPR machinery more safely and effectively into cells.

The study by Reed et al. provides fundamental findings and convincing evidence defining the topological changes that occur during tumorigenesis. The findings enhance the understanding of stable ...

Researchers have unveiled a new type of nanostructure that dramatically improves CRISPR delivery. Called lipid nanoparticle ...
