Since 2019, MIT researchers have published a new concept called prime editing, which is more precise than regular CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing. As a result, it has fewer off-target effects and less chance ...

Two new research papers from the Living Brain Project at Mount Sinai present what is, by several metrics, the largest ...

Scientists are designing mRNA vaccines to produce virus-like nanoparticles, which should lead to a more robust immune ...

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a type of molecule and a key building block of the ribosome, the cell's protein-making machinery. rRNA accounts for much of the RNA in a cell, and it's crucial for life.

Moderna faces significant uncertainty ahead of Q3 earnings, with heavy reliance on COVID vaccine revenues and limited ...

Mikhail Karasikov and his colleagues at ETH Zurich worked on MetaGraph, a search engine designed for genomic databases containing massive troves of DNA and RNA sequences.

CRISPR-based tools can’t easily access the DNA in these organelles, but researchers are finding other ways in.

The University of Missouri is breaking new ground in the treatment of genetic disorders, and it’s starting with Marfan ...

A new tool developed at ETH Zurich, MetaGraph, allows scientists to search through vast public DNA and RNA databases in seconds — like a “Google for DNA.” DNA sequencing has transformed biomedical ...

The Research Collaboratory for Structural Bioinformatics Protein Data Bank, a global scientific resource based at Rutgers ...

The scientists named this new process ER3D, which stands for endogenous RNA-directed DNA damage. It’s the first time ...

Molecular biologists have long believed that the beginning of a gene launched the process of transcription—the process by ...
