RNA is one of the bodies most vital molecules, and it comes in a few forms. For example, messenger RNA fills an essential role in gene expression by copying the sequences of active genes, which are ...

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a double-strand break involves the severing of both strands of the DNA double ...

To solve a problem, scientists first need to see it clearly. Whether it’s a virus slipping past the immune system or plaques ...

The phosphoramidites market shows promising growth in oligonucleotide synthesis, key to gene therapy and personalized ...

In a groundbreaking exploration of cell surface biology, Ryan Flynn has uncovered a surprising role for RNA outside the confines of the cell. Flynn's research, which focuses on the biology of cell ...

CRISPR-Cas systems are adaptive immune systems found in prokaryotes that defend against invading nucleic acids through CRISPR ...

A new role has been uncovered for a cell's own RNA in fending off attacks by RNA viruses. Some of the cell's RNA molecules, researchers found, help regulate antiviral signaling. These signals are part ...

Cancer, a disease with global impact, is intricately linked to dysregulated gene expression, which is influenced by both ...
