Biologists have long puzzled over why organisms with similar numbers of protein-coding genes can differ so dramatically in ...

Cancer is most treatable in its early stages, so finding innovative and non-invasive methods to diagnose cancer early on is crucial for fighting the disease. Liquid biopsies, which require just a ...

Long non-coding RNAs exist in the so-called "Wild West" (99%) of the human genome that is currently understudied. Not only does this finding have treatment implications for patients with ...

Various sayings equate going fast with going alone. But none of them apply to the gene expression journey described by a research team from the University of Göttingen. The team, led by Heike Krebber, ...

RNA epigenetics also called Epitranscriptomics is an evolving field of research that explores chemical modifications on RNA and their impact on the cell and ...

Cellular homeostasis and stress response are tightly coordinated processes involving a complex interplay between signaling ...

Breakthrough in CRISPR: HKUST scientists engineered a DNA-guided Cas12a system that targets and cleaves RNA with unprecedented precision. Practical advantages: DNA guides are cheaper, more stable, and ...
