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 ...

Ribonucleic acid, also called RNA, is a molecule present in all living cells. It plays a critical role in transmitting genetic instructions from DNA and creating proteins. With the power to execute a ...

Immunologists from the Institute have been the first to uncover a role for a family of RNA binding proteins in the function of regulatory T cells in the immune system. As their name suggests, ...

Even without deep computational skills, scientists can use the CRISPRware program to quickly browse entire libraries of precomputed guide RNAs for six model organisms, zoom in on their gene or region ...

National University of Singapore (NUS) researchers have devised a method to safely and temporarily "switch off" and then "turn on" ribonucleic acid (RNA) inside cells. This is achieved using ...

Scientists have transformed RNA, a biological molecule present in all living cells, into a biosensor that can detect tiny chemicals relevant to human health. Research by scientists centers on RNA, a ...

Biologists have discovered that disruptions in transfer RNA function can lead to the development of cleft lip and cleft palate. Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common birth defects, ...

For a Brandeis undergraduate, the Brandeis Core Science requirement has inevitably brought you to a classroom where the words ...
