Researchers have built a series of CRISPR-based platforms that can switch endogenous genes on and, just as critically, dial ...

Researchers have found that certain bacteria carry a naturally occurring system, built from repurposed CRISPR components, ...

Researchers discover how ribosomes contribute to the recognition and removal of RNA crosslinking damage. Aldehydes are toxic compounds that are produced in the body by metabolic processes, especially ...

Researchers revealed a CRISPR system that activates gene expression rather than cutting DNA, using RNA-guided targeting. The ...

In their landmark 1961 paper on the lac operon, Nobel laureates François Jacob and Jacques Monod speculated that RNA might control gene activity in bacteria through base-pairing interactions. But once ...

The integrity of DNA and RNA is essential for every cell. DNA contains the genetic information for proteins, while RNA serves ...

Like tiny superheroes, small, naturally occurring segments of RNA can block multiple molecular paths that cancer cells use to ...

New research identifies a critical RNA recycling system that prevents cellular "clogging," offering a new path for anti-aging ...

The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that regulates a suite of genes through direct binding of GR to specific DNA promoter elements. GR also interacts with RNA, ...
