enabling rapid and cost-effective DNA and RNA sequencing that supports important advances in cancer research, drug development, agricultural innovation and forensic science. The sequencing process ...

RNA is often compared to a copy from a reference book, or a template, because it carries the same information as its DNA template but is not used for long-term storage. Each ribonucleotide base ...

The central dogma of molecular biology suggests that the primary role of RNA is to convert the information stored in DNA into proteins. In reality, there is much more to the RNA story. However ...

Because RNAs are so central to our biology, they are also drivers of a wide array of diseases. Defects in how RNA is produced ...

DNA strand displacement circuits are inching closer to becoming cellular machines. Scientists are finding ways to make these ...

Ultrasensitive ratiometric fluorosensor for enteroviral RNA detection based on improved electron transfer between carbon dots and ethidium bromide. Carbon , 2025; 238: 120222 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbon ...

The findings overturn the long-held idea that most types of RNA viruses are incapable of DNA integration and raise another safety concern in the use of RNA-based gene therapy. "It's a very interesting ...

One of the hottest topics in the life science field today is "CRISPR- Cas9". Assistant Professor Hiroshi Nishimasu and his collaborators were the first in the world to report the 3D structure of the ...

This pathway, or others like it, could explain why some inheritable traits between generations can’t be explained exclusively via DNA and RNA. "There are a lot of traits and disorders that we ...

In the Protein Engineering and Evolution Unit's latest publication in Nucleic Acids Research, the team presents an engineered RNA methyltransferase, which can be used to study the role of RNA ...
