RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely harnessed in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, RNA function ...

A new study has discovered an unprecedented pathway producing telomerase RNA from a protein-coding messenger RNA (mRNA). For the very first time, a study led by Julian Chen and his group in Arizona ...

All starting from the same DNA, neurons ultimately take on individual characteristics in the brain and body. Differences in ...

Researchers at Arizona State University’s (ASU) School of Molecular Sciences and the Biodesign Institute’s Center for the Mechanism of Evolution have discovered an unprecedented pathway producing ...

CRISPR-Cas13, a powerful RNA-targeting technology is gaining increasing attention as a next-generation gene therapy platform due to its precision and reduced side effects. Utilizing this system, ...

Much the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres - regions of repetitive DNA sequences and a protein structure - protect the tips of chromosomes from damage. Every ...

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of the Human Genome Project, a monumental scientific achievement that has transformed healthcare and laid the foundation for modern genomics.

The Living Brain Project showed that live brain samples from patients undergoing deep brain stimulation revealed differences in RNA splicing and protein expression compared to postmortem brain tissue.

Hyperthermophilic archaea are true survival experts. They thrive in boiling hot springs and deep-sea vents—environments ...
