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

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

Researchers discovered that a circular RNA is crucial for synapse development and plasticity in the mouse visual system.

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 ...

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 ...

DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid. It is the fundamental blueprint of life, containing genetic instructions for traits and ...

EMBL researchers and collaborators have developed SDR-seq, a breakthrough single-cell technology that captures DNA and RNA ...

By examining genomic variation more closely, scientists can now identify new disease connections with greater speed and accuracy. For centuries, scientists have recognized that certain illnesses can ...
