For the first time, scientists can view RNA molecules directly inside cells and tissue in minute detail and across the entire ...

A University of Illinois and Mayo collaboration has demonstrated a novel gene expression analysis technique that can accurately measure levels of RNA quickly and directly from a cancerous tissue ...

Assisted reproductive techniques alter the expression of genes that are important for metabolism and the transport of nutrients in the placenta of mice. The results underscore the need for greater ...

Flies expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) in their retina cells or other tissues can be tracked by specially modified video cameras, creating a real time computer record of movement and gene ...

A new gene expression technique adapted for single molecule sequencing has enabled researchers in Japan to accurately and quantitatively measure gene expression levels using only 100 nanograms of ...

Sequencing all of the RNA in a cell can reveal a great deal of information about that cell's function and what it is doing at a given point in time. However, the sequencing process destroys the cell, ...

A University of Minnesota Twin Cities-led team has developed a new technique that allows scientists and engineers to, for the first time, visualize mRNA molecules in the brains of living mice. The ...

In diseases associated with immune reactions or dysregulations such as infections, autoimmunity, cancer, as well as in genetic and metabolic disorders, changes in the cellular component of peripheral ...

The 30,000 or so genes making up the human genome contain the instructions vital to life. Yet each of our cells expresses only a subset of these genes in their daily functioning. The difference ...

While recombinant protein expression is a staple in the toolbox of many researchers, obtaining large quantities of a biologically active protein remains a challenge. Successful expression of a ...
