RNA interference using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) has become a mainstay of functional gene characterization and has ...
Alzheimer's disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, affects nearly 40 million individuals globally, resulting in a ...
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 ...
In modern functional genomics, understanding how specific genes control cellular behavior requires both targeted intervention and high-resolution analysis. That’s where Perturb-Seq comes in—a method ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A groundbreaking study reveals that human cells initiate self-destruction processes when viruses disrupt RNA production, offering new insights into innate antiviral defenses. Conducted and reported on ...
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, ...
