By Hugo Francisco de Souza Emerging research suggests reversible RNA editing mechanisms may influence heart disease biology while opening new avenues for biomarkers and next-generation cardiovascular ...

Scientists in the laboratory of Rendong Yang, Ph.D., associate professor of Urology, have developed a new large language model that can interpret transcriptomic data in cancer cell lines more ...

Although there are striking differences between the cells that make up your eyes, kidneys, brain and toes, the DNA blueprint for these cells is essentially the same. Where do those differences come ...

Life may have begun when RNA molecules began to replicate themselves, and now we’ve finally found an RNA molecule that is very close to being able to do this ...

Researchers from the Faculty of Engineering at The University of Hong Kong (HKU) have developed two innovative deep-learning algorithms, ClairS-TO and Clair3-RNA, that significantly advance genetic ...

One of the greatest mysteries of our planet is how a soup of lifeless chemicals transformed into the first living cell. There are several competing theories about where this happened, from frozen ...

These random molecules were fed a collection of three-base-long RNAs, each linked to a chemical tag. The idea was that if a molecule is capable of ligating one of these short RNA fragments to itself, ...

Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge have discovered a ribozyme that is shockingly small, yet ...

Universal rRNA depletion can put the power of RNA-seq at the disposal of researchers studying any organism, from dangerous pathogens to vital plant crops. The RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) revolution is ...

Thanks to a new approach, more labs will be able to access the power of single-cell sequencing — gaining insights into complex biological processes otherwise obscured in bulk samples. Not so long ago, ...
