In a new study, scientists at The Wistar Institute report the first direct evidence that RNA editing is essential to mammalian embryo development. RNA editing is a normal but not yet fully understood ...

The United States Food and Drug Administration has just approved the first-ever clinical trial that uses CRISPR-Cas13 RNA ...

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message ...

Chloroplast gene expression is governed by a sophisticated network of nuclear‐ and plastid‐encoded factors that integrate transcription, RNA processing and translation. Central to this process is the ...

The IDR in TAF2 steers the protein away from active gene promoters, where it participates in transcription initiation, to nuclear speckles — liquid-like compartments that concentrate factors for RNA ...

Ask a friend what DNA is and, chances are, they have a general idea. Seventy years after scientists discovered the two-stranded helix, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is widely understood as the keeper of ...

Bodybuilders and cellular mechanisms agree generating protein is a heavy lift. To complete the task, cells rely on complexes called spliceosomes. These molecular machines snip extra bits out of our ...

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

A University of California, Irvine-led research team has discovered intricate molecular mechanisms driving the RNA processing defects that lead to Huntington's disease and link HD with other ...
