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 ...

Three of the mammoth samples yielded ancient RNA fragments, particularly the sample from Yuka. Previously assumed to be a female mammoth, their analysis showed that Yuka had fragments of RNA from ...

RNA sequencing is a powerful tool that helps researchers uncover novel biological insights into the transcriptome. This free eBook allows readers to learn about RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) by explaining ...

DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into proteins. This is the central dogma of molecular biology – a mantra taught to every biology undergraduate student to be recalled and expanded ...

An ancient RNA-guided system with potential to expand gene-editing capabilities has been identified. Researchers at MIT’s McGovern Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard (both MA, USA) ...

The authors do not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and have disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...

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 ...

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message, or mRNA, which is then converted into protein. Although DNA remains the same ...

In a study published in Stem Cell Reports, researchers from the University of Michigan investigated which signals control the development of stem cells into retinal cells. Their findings could help ...
