As Storici and other researchers continue probing RNA’s effects in DNA repair, their revelations could have a lasting impact on human health and evolution. That means better gene therapies, new cancer ...
These edits modify RNA, the molecule used to translate information from the genetic blueprint stored in DNA, while leaving the DNA unaltered. Scientists don’t yet know for sure why octopuses ...
By 2020 the ENCODE project said it had identified around 37,600 noncoding genes—that is, DNA stretches with instructions for RNA molecules that do not code for proteins.
RNA in control By uncovering RNA’s previously unknown function to repair DNA damage, our findings show how RNA may directly contribute to the stability and evolution of the genome.
DNA and RNA methylation, initially thought to operate as distinct pathways, have been shown to interact closely, shifting our understanding of gene regulation. A team of researchers from the ...
In his new book “The Catalyst,” Thomas R. Cech talks about the Covid-19 vaccines, what RNA means for future health crises and how gene editing with CRISPR factors in.
By predicting how proteins interact with RNA and DNA, AlphaFold 3 could dramatically accelerate discovery of new drugs, better antibiotics, more effective vaccines.
Sunburn has traditionally been attributed to UV-induced DNA damage. However, a new study reveals that RNA, another vital cellular molecule, plays a major role in triggering acute sunburn reactions.
Aldevron produces plasmid DNA, mRNA, proteins, and other components for the development of vaccines, gene and cell therapies, immunotherapies, and molecular diagnostics. Acquired by Danaher in ...
“There’s this alternate inheritance mechanism on top of DNA,” Eroglu said in a press statement. “Could we discover something that, in fact, doesn’t change sex but changes some other traits?
