RNA plays a vital role in how our genes are expressed and how diseases develop. Yet, because RNA molecules constantly change shape, understanding how they work has long been a major scientific ...

Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) researchers harness long-read RNA sequencing to decode genetic intricacies and disease links. Alternative splicing, a process where a single gene can give ...

American biologists Victor Ambros from the University of Massachusetts and Gary Ruvkun from Harvard University have won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. They share the prize for their ...

Researchers at Utah State University have reported a previously unrecognised CRISPR immune response in which a bacterial ...

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have discovered a way to target RNA that could lead to new treatment options for myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), the most common adult-onset form of ...

This study introduces the Multidimensional Antiviral Antibody Database (MAAD), a comprehensive and standardized platform integrating sequence ...

Nucleosomes are barriers to RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) transcribing along gene bodies in eukaryotes. We found that a fragile “tailless nucleosome” could be generated to resolve the Pol II pausing ...

A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular ...
