EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens ...

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can ...

Alternative splicing exhibits lineage-specific variability, with mammals and birds reaching the highest levels despite conserved intron-rich architectures, while unicellular eukaryotes and prokaryotes ...

Wiring up the brain's trillions of circuit connections is an enormous job performed by a huge crew of molecules. Among the less understood members are circular RNAs, transcripts from DNA that assume a ...

A new method to detect ribonucleic acid (RNA) without needing any complex lab procedures or heating equipment has been ...

A team led by Neil King, a biochemistry professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine, is now exploring a new approach to COVID vaccines: using mRNA to let the body assemble its own ...

The mRNA therapeutics market offers key opportunities in developing vaccines and treatments for chronic and infectious diseases, driven by successful clinical trials and increased government and ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have unveiled MetaGraph, a revolutionary new tool that's being called a 'Google for DNA'. This amazing innovation makes it su ...

Two new research papers from the Living Brain Project at Mount Sinai present what is, by several metrics, the largest ...

They disable our defenses and hijack the cellular machinery in order to multiply successfully. For example, the herpes simplex virus 1, which causes blister-like skin rashes, and influenza viruses ...

In the present work we focus on the key function of N condensing viral RNA into ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs) for viral assembly. Lacking high-resolution structural information, biochemical and ...

In a major advance for biotechnology and bioinformatics, researchers from ETH Zurich have developed MetaGraph, a search ...
