Alternative splicing (AS) of pre-mRNA plays a crucial role in tissue-specific gene regulation, with disease implications due to splicing defects. Predicting and manipulating AS can therefore uncover ...

New RNA-based active agents reliably protect plants against the Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), the most common virus in ...

RNA antibodies would certainly be welcome tools to study the biology of these molecules, but the reality is that very few antibodies to RNA exist. The reason why, as structural biologist Anthony ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive ...

Enzymes called RNA polymerases transcribe DNA into RNA. RNA is the intermediary that carries the information contained within DNA to the ribosomes, where the genetic information is synthesized into ...

A new review article highlights the transformative role of circular RNA (circRNA) in cancer, revealing its potential as both ...

Dr. Kathrin Fröhlich from the University of Jena will be awarded the 2025 Research Award of the Vereinigung für Allgemeine und Angewandte Mikrobiologie (VAAM, Association for General and Applied ...

A new review article highlights the transformative role of circular RNA (circRNA) in cancer, revealing its potential as both a key player in tumor biology and a promising avenue for future therapies.

Spatial transcriptomics is a cutting-edge technique that characterizes gene expression within sections of tissue, such as ...
