Cells have a natural editing system that allows them to rearrange genetic instructions to create different proteins from the ...

Our DNA is constantly under threat — from cell division errors to external factors like sunlight and smoking. Fortunately, ...

Alternative RNA splicing is like a movie editor cutting and rearranging scenes from the same footage to create different ...

A vast search of natural diversity has led scientists at MIT’s McGovern Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard ...

In Nature Neuroscience, UConn School of Medicine researchers have revealed a new scientific clue that could unlock the key cellular pathway leading to devastating neurodegenerative diseases like ...

This binding facilitates RNA polymerase activity and transcription of nearby genes. At the same time, however, other amino acids would bind to negative regulatory proteins called repressors ...

Stress granules (SGs) are transient organelles that form when cells experience stress, serving as critical hubs for RNA metabolism and cellular survival.

Researchers have identified an ancient RNA-guided system that can target DNA, potentially expanding the genome-editing toolbox.

The buildup of knot-like RNA structures in brain cells may be the key to understanding how uncontrolled protein aggregation drives Alzheimer’s disease.

The TIGR-associated (Tas) proteins that Zhang's team found share a characteristic RNA-binding component that interacts with an RNA guide that directs it to a specific site in the genome.
