Researchers at Duke University used CRISPR technologies to discover previously unannotated stretches of DNA in the "dark ...

These chains come in a wide range of lengths. In humans a typical protein is about 400 amino acids long; some are a lot longer. Molecules of RNA, one of the two nucleic acids, can reach up to 100,000 ...

A new study led by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai offers one of the most comprehensive views yet of how brain ...

Unlock the power of reverse translation with our intuitive and powerful bioinformatics tool. Designed for researchers, students, and professionals in molecular biology, genetics, and biotechnology, ...

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.

YBX1 is a member of the Y-box transcription factor family and is a multifunctional RNA/DNA-binding protein characterized by a highly conserved cold shock domain (CSD). YBX1 is localized in both the ...

A new study led by Stephen D. Nimer, M.D., director of Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, shows how a key molecule regulates the ...

Nucleic acid-based therapeutics, including antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), small interfering RNA (siRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), immunomodulatory DNA/RNA, and gene-editing guide RNA (gRNA), hold ...

From viruses to humans, life makes microproteins that have evaded discovery until now. By Carl Zimmer You could be forgiven for assuming that scientists know how many kinds of proteins exist. After ...

Practical laboratory of the most functional metagenomics courses focuses on activities aimed at providing specific skills in bioinformatics through the analysis of genomic datasets. However, ...
