Scientists have exploited a peculiar CRISPR enzyme so that it fights cancer by shredding the DNA in cancer cells, causing ...

Scientists have long suspected connections between heredity and disease, dating back to Hippocrates, who observed certain diseases "ran in families." However, through the years, scientists have kept ...

When a virus enters a cell, its top priority is to replicate its genome rapidly, creating new viruses to infect elsewhere.

The integrity of DNA and RNA is essential for every cell. DNA contains the genetic information for proteins, while RNA serves as a working copy of individual genes and is required for the synthesis of ...

Scientists developed a new CRISPR technology that targets specific RNA molecules. This breakthrough allows for the selective ...

Cancers driven by hiccups in RNA processing can’t hide from our immune system, according to new work published today in Cell. A cross-institutional team Fred Hutch Cancer Center and Memorial Sloan ...

ALS-causing NEK1 gene mutations disrupt cellular protein production machinery. Truncated NEK1 protein accumulates in the nucleolus, impairing ribosome biogenesis. This disruption leads to cell death ...

Super-enhancers are a specialized class of functional, non-coding RNA molecules transcribed directly from regions of the ...

Researchers have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that helps aging cells drive the chronic inflammation linked to ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

EMBL scientists created SDR-seq, a tool for single-cell DNA-RNA-sequencing that studies both DNA and RNA simultaneously, linking coding and non-coding genetic variants to gene expression in the same ...
