Gene expression is linked to RNA transcription, which cannot happen without RNA polymerase. However, this is where the similarities between prokaryote and eukaryote expression end. Central to the ...

For years, two siblings with the distinctive facial features of Treacher Collins syndrome had no genetic explanation for ...

In this valuable study, the authors develop new approaches to investigate mRNA imprinting, a phenomenon in which RNA-protein complexes form in the nucleus to influence the fate of transcripts in the ...

Years of experiments and databases filled with RNA-seq results belie the simple reality that, until fairly recently, it was impossible to analyze RNA directly. The RNA-seq studies performed with ...

Fred Hutch researchers invent a CRISPR screening method to understand RNA-binding proteins often mutated in cancer and other diseases In biology’s standard tale of two acids — deoxyribonucleic (DNA) ...

Genome instability can cause numerous diseases. Cells have effective DNA repair mechanisms at their disposal. A research team has now gained new insights into the DNA damage response. Whenever cells ...

RNAConnect, developer of enzymatic tools for visualizing and manipulating RNA, today announced the release of the UltraMarathonRT ® Two-Step RT-qPCR Kit, a next-generation tool for RNA researchers ...

A protein called LENG8 traps defective RNA molecules inside the cell nucleus before they can reach the cytoplasm and disrupt normal cellular function, according to a study published in Molecular Cell ...

The expression of symptoms of viral infections is a byproduct of complex virus-host molecular pathways. These remain largely unknown, especially in the case of fungus-virus pathogen systems. Fungal ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai say they have made a new discovery about how human cells make RNA, a molecule that functions as a set of blueprints that tell cells how to ...
