RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts.

In a nutshell Scientists discovered a tiny genetic change in the NOVA1 gene that exists only in modern humans — not in ...

Once scientists have collected an eDNA sample, they analyze it via bar coding, which can either look for a single species or ...

In a study published in Nature, researchers report the successful in vitro reconstitution of meiotic DNA double-strand breaks ...

A new AI-based method can accurately recover digital data from DNA strands nearly 90 times faster than older techniques, ...

Roche has put forward a new approach to genetic analysis, which it describes as sequencing-by-expansion—a proprietary method that pulls apart the DNA molecule and amplifies the signal of | Roche said ...

When the monkeys were single-celled embryos, scientists had used CRISPR editing tools to silence, or “knock out”, a gene that ...

Building a gene editor took months. With CRISPR even high-schoolers can get hold of editing systems in the time it takes to order RNA sequences online and have them shipped by FedEx. In a short while ...

Highly valued economically, ecologically and culturally, the white oak (Quercus alba) is a keystone forest species and is one of the most abundant trees across much of eastern North America. It also ...

Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine researchers have discovered a dual regulatory mechanism safeguarding ...
