Scientists found a virus-like living entity in human bodies named "obelisks" - small loops of RNA, each a thousand genetic ...

The interior of a cell is packed with proteins and nucleic acids, such as RNA, all of which need to perform specific ...

In modern functional genomics, understanding how specific genes control cellular behavior requires both targeted intervention and high-resolution analysis. That’s where Perturb-Seq comes in—a method ...

Ribonucleic acid, also called RNA, is a molecule present in all living cells. It plays a critical role in transmitting genetic instructions from DNA and creating proteins. With the power to execute a ...

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 ...

The Tas protein uses an RNA guide to recognize a specific target DNA sequence. A vast search of natural diversity has led scientists at MIT’s McGovern Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and ...

Neurons have dominated neuroscience research for decades, but a growing body of evidence suggests that a group of ...

The firm will launch a Phase I trial in healthy volunteers in the Netherlands to establish safety and proof-of-target engagement.

Peking University, June 27, 2025: To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian cells, researchers from Peking University ...

In a study published in Neuron, a research team at the Department of Neurology at Massachusetts General Hospital, aimed to ...
