Two separate laboratory breakthroughs have produced RNA molecules that can build copies of themselves or assemble functional structures without any help from proteins or DNA. These results offer the ...
To understand more fully the role of RNA and its modifications in living systems, researchers will need robust, reproducible, and accessible tools and techniques capable of identifying all RNA ...
RNA interference is a conserved biological response to double-stranded RNA that regulates gene expression. The response is mediated by small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), which guide the ...
Researchers in China have developed a new method that allows them to insert long stretches of DNA into a genome. The process, named GRAND editing, is one of a handful of new systems aimed at using two ...
Nucleic acids are complex biological molecules that store and transmit genetic information in all living organisms. They are essential for the survival and reproduction of life on Earth. The two main ...
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is one of the most important methods to study biological function in cells, but it is limited by potential inaccuracies in the data it generates. Now, a research ...
Tina de los Reyes is the strategic biopharma development specialist for the Western US. With over 10 years of commercial experience in NGS and a Masters in Biomedical diagnostics, she specializes in ...
DNA is the poster child for high-specificity binding. As long as their base sequences match, two complementary strands of DNA can navigate through a sea of biomolecules, find each other, and hold fast ...
