A new study reveals a mechanism for generating DNA palindromes that could lead to new microRNA genes, shedding light on gene origins and potentially impacting…
Neurons in Drosophila fruit flies were studied by The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory to understand the diversity in neuronal communication. They found that…
A study by the University of Göttingen on Mesotaenium endlicherianum, an alga closely related to land plants, revealed crucial genetic insights. By analyzing the alga’s…
Researchers at MIT have identified a vast array of Fanzors, programmable DNA-cutting enzymes from eukaryotic organisms, expanding the gene-editing potential of RNA-guided tools and opening…
Genetic information collected from seemingly healthy tissue near lung tumors may be a better predictor of whether cancer will come back after treatment than analysis…
Scientists have detailed the three-dimensional structure of one of the smallest known CRISPR-Cas13 systems, CRISPR-Cas13bt3, used for RNA modification, which operates differently from other proteins…

Researchers have identified over 11,000 circRNAs in brain cells linked to Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. These circRNAs may offer insights into the diseases’ molecular foundations and…
Instead of just piecing together short bits of a genome through short-read genomic sequencing, EMBL researchers used long-read nanopore sequencing to gain a more comprehensive…
University of Gothenburg researchers have discovered that COVID-19 hijacks the vital RNA machinery in infected cells, causing damaging changes that could potentially be reversed with…
The researchers discovered that inhibiting RNA synthesis with the THZ1 compound and analogs following therapies that cause DNA breakages, such as radiation therapy, dramatically improves…
