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 antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

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

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

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 research team led by Rice University's Yang Gao has uncovered new insights into the molecular mechanisms of ADAR1, a ...

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.
