CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems found in prokaryotes that defend against invading nucleic acids through CRISPR ...

DNA holds our genetic blueprints, but its cousin, RNA, conducts our daily lives I n 1957, just four years after Francis Crick ...

Even gene drives aimed at controlling malaria-carrying mosquitoes rely on CRISPR’s precision. Among CRISPR’s many variants, the compact Type V Cas12 enzymes—key players in genome editing, diagnostics, ...

The investment from Brown parents Giammaria and Sabrina Giuliani will support scholars seeking to unlock the potential of RNA ...

Viruses are entities that have to infect other cells in order to replicate. They may have genomes that are made of DNA or RNA. We are still discovering new types of RNA viruses, as shown in two new ...

As a PhD student at the University of Münster in the early 2000s, Sven Diederichs would bike three kilometers each morning to a compact lab in a brick building on the hospital campus. There, he’d ...

They say that change takes time. Well, that's not the case for RNA. The small biological molecule acts like a switchboard operator, capable of changing its shape every few milliseconds so it can ...
