Individually tailored RNA or DNA-based molecules are able to reliably fight off viral infections in plants, according to a new study. The researchers were able to fend off a common virus using the new ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Leveraging their knowledge of plant and synthetic biology, scientists have developed a biosensor that detects RNA signals in real time within living plants, enhancing the ability to monitor gene ...

Scientists have optimized a protocol to achieve a higher quantity and quality of isolated RNA from mangrove root tissues rich in secondary metabolites. The secondary metabolite content in mangrove ...

DNA is the molecular basis of heredity, the inherited traits that pass between generations in a person's family tree. Embodied in the sequence of base pairs, DNA carries information between ...

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.
