New research shows how certain orphan noncoding RNA — oncRNA — can be predictable enough to be a ‘bar code’ identifying ...

As the spread of infectious diseases accelerates, technologies that can accurately distinguish multiple viruses in a single ...

The Tas protein uses an RNA guide to recognize a specific target DNA sequence. A vast search of natural diversity has led scientists at MIT’s McGovern Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and ...

DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into proteins. This is the central dogma of molecular biology – a mantra taught to every biology undergraduate student to be recalled and expanded ...

The research team demonstrated that the targeted RNA acetylation system, guided by guide RNA that locates specific RNA within cells, can introduce acetylation chemical modifications to desired RNA.

CRISPR functions as a programmable genetic memory system derived from bacterial immune defenses against viral infections. Guide RNA allows for rapid multiplexed targeting compared to older ...

SANTA CRUZ — A Ph.D. graduate student in biomolecular engineering at UC Santa Cruz, with a background in computer science and mathematics, has created an innovative software program called CRISPRware, ...

As the spread of infectious diseases accelerates, technologies that can accurately distinguish multiple viruses in a single ...
