Researchers can transfect other types of RNA molecules as well. Messenger RNA transfection enables direct analyses of RNA function because the transfected messages can be expressed in the absence of ...

RNA interference seemed poised to transform functional genomics and therapeutics with the 2001 publication of a paper by Tom Tuschl and colleagues showing that 21-base-pair (bp) RNA duplexes silence ...

The term RNAi — short for RNA interference — crops up again and again in biology research these days. This is in part because of its power as a laboratory tool, and in part because it is a widespread ...

Researchers from the Colour and Food Quality group at the Faculty of Pharmacy (University of Seville), in collaboration with Dr. Marina Ezcurra's group at the University of Kent (UK), have shown that ...

New research shows that parasitic nematodes, responsible for infecting more than a billion people globally, carry viruses that may solve the puzzle of why some cause serious diseases. New research ...
