In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...
National Cancer Institute researchers have developed a method called HORNET for characterizing 3D topological structures of ...
The discovery of siRNA and its role in RNAi was a groundbreaking finding in the field of molecular biology. In 1998, Andrew Fire and Craig Mello published a seminal paper describing the phenomenon of ...
This image illustrates the chemical structures of the five main nucleobases found in DNA and RNA. The pyrimidines, thymine (DNA), uracil (RNA), and cytosine are shown on top while the purines, adenine ...
Generation of Microgram Quantities of sgRNA in Less Than One Hour CRISPR is an acronym for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Palindromic Repeats, which are genomic loci found in many bacteria and ...
An individual’s genome is identifiable. But datasets of RNA sequences from single cells are like a blurry photocopy of the genome. The sequence numbers are small, the data are noisy, and the sequences ...
Researchers from Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) report that they have developed a new tool (Cas13d-NCS) that allows CRISPR RNA molecules that are located within the cell ...
The DNA double helix is composed of two DNA molecules whose sequences are complementary to each other. The stability of the duplex can be fine-tuned in the lab by controlling the amount and location ...
