From vaccines and diagnostics to emerging gene-based therapies, RNA molecules are now central to modern medicine. But as ...

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) reveal that metabolic enzymes known for their roles in energy production and nucleotide synthesis are taking on unexpected "second jobs" within ...

Researchers developed C28, an engineered polymerase that efficiently synthesizes RNA at near-natural speeds with high accuracy. Created through directed evolution, the enzyme also performs reverse ...

If severe DNA damage is not repaired, the consequences for the health of cells and tissues are dramatic. A study led by ...

Deep in your muscles, an enzyme called AMPD1 helps turn chemical fuel into usable energy. When it does not work well, muscles tire faster.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Genetic engineering has brought us revolutionary advances in medicine, biotechnology, and our understanding of life itself. However, the precise manipulation of DNA sequences has ...

The origin of SARS-CoV-2 remains unresolved. In a non-peer-reviewed preprint published on bioRxiv on Oct. 20, 2022 three authors present analyses that, according to their interpretation, suggest a ...
