Researchers from A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a new method to study individual RNA molecules and reveal how their structures influence gene regulation, a ...

A team of engineers at the University of Florida has developed a new form of CRISPR technology that could make diagnostics ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut ...

Water is largely tasteless to humans. But to the microbial world, it is anything but. Bacteria that live in contaminated ...

An experimental RNA-based therapy shows promise for ALS by preventing TDP-43 protein clumping. The therapy halted motor neuron loss in mouse models. Researchers hope to one day move the treatment to ...

A routine experiment with a new single-cell DNA sequencing method turned into a surprising scientific twist when researchers ...

Researchers have identified a pathway that triggers an immune response in cells with defective DNA repair. In particular, the ...
