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

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 ...

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

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology ...

Like humans (and all living organisms), panda RNA (ribonucleic acid) molecules make up a hugely important part of the body's genetic code. RNA is essentially the messenger cell that instructs ...

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 a key player in tumor biology and a promising avenue for future therapies.

Christopher Burge, the Uncas and Helen Whitaker Professor of Biology at MIT, is the senior author of the study, which appears today in Nature Communications. RNA splicing, a process discovered in ...

Dr. Kerstin Elbing Geschäftsstelle Berlin Verband Biologie, Biowissenschaften und Biomedizin in Deutschland e.V. Dr. Kathrin Fröhlich from the University of Jena will be awarded the 2025 Research ...
