Alternative splicing exhibits lineage-specific variability, with mammals and birds reaching the highest levels despite conserved intron-rich architectures, while unicellular eukaryotes and prokaryotes ...
A new method to detect ribonucleic acid (RNA) without needing any complex lab procedures or heating equipment has been ...
They disable our defenses and hijack the cellular machinery in order to multiply successfully. For example, the herpes simplex virus 1, which causes blister-like skin rashes, and influenza viruses ...
Wiring up the brain's trillions of circuit connections is an enormous job performed by a huge crew of molecules. Among the less understood members are circular RNAs, transcripts from DNA that assume a ...
As CRISPR continues to drive breakthroughs in medicine, agriculture, and synthetic biology, understanding its origins does more than tell an ancient story. It provides a blueprint for engineering the ...
New research has uncovered shared patterns between ribosomal RNAs and genes linked to brain disorders, including autism, ...
This study addresses an important question in liver biology: how zonal hepatocytes balance survival and proliferation following injury; using spatial transcriptomics, mechanistic perturbations, and ...
People are still debating whether the mRNA from COVID-19 vaccines remains in the body longer than it should. Some say it lingers and causes harm, others say that idea just doesn’t hold up. A new ...
Alida Biosciences’ EpiPlex platform uses robust assay controls and specialized bioinformatics to detect RNA modification, genomic coordinates, and relative quantity.
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are central regulators of post-transcriptional gene expression. They modulate key aspects of mRNA metabolism—such as splicing, ...
