ORNL scientists created a biosensor technology that lets researchers visualize and track RNA activity in living plants, using a molecular splicing technique and a fluorescent marker protein. *This ...

With a three-year, $1.6 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s Chi Zhang, ...

RNA acts as a messenger inside cells, carrying instructions from DNA that are translated into proteins that are essential for how cells function. In plants, RNA signals change rapidly as the plants ...

Our genes contain all the instructions our body needs to function, but their expression must be finely regulated to guarantee that each cell performs its role optimally. This is where DNA and RNA ...

Starting from whole plant tissues and dissociating cells (protoplasts) or nuclei from the tissue, RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis by reverse transcription, library preparation followed by sequencing, ...

A research team led by the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a method to accurately and ...

Inside every cell, a finely tuned metabolic network determines when to build, recycle, or stop producing essential molecules.

Scientists have recovered the oldest-known RNA, a molecule necessary for most biological functions, from a woolly mammoth ...
