Janelia researchers developed an innovative new technique – cycleHCR -- that uses a novel DNA barcode system to track hundreds of RNA and protein molecules in single cells within thick biological ...

Nucleic acid-based therapeutics, including antisense oligonucleotides (ASO), small interfering RNA (siRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), immunomodulatory DNA/RNA, and gene-editing guide RNA (gRNA), hold ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

Stay up to date on the latest science with Brush Up Summaries. Article reviewed by Ninning Liu, PhD from the Wyss Institute at Harvard University. Similar to retail stores that use standardized ...

Protein barcodes are short, information- rich stretches of amino acids encoded by DNA sequences that can be added to the DNA sequences coding for proteins. Then, when protein barcode DNA and protein ...

UC Vice President for Research Patrick Limbach is a key figure in the National Academies’ massive undertaking to sequence RNA in the next 15 years. A chemist who leads the University of Cincinnati’s ...

Genes have to be expressed in the right place, at the time, and at the right levels to carry out the right functions. To learn more about these physiological processes and how they change in disease, ...

In the mid-1990s, Hiroyuki Nakai, now an adeno-associated virus (AAV) researcher at the Oregon Health and Science University, moved to the United States. Nakai quickly became fascinated with the ...

Researchers have sequenced the oldest RNA ever recovered, taken from a woolly mammoth frozen for nearly 40,000 years. The RNA reveals which genes were active in its tissues, offering a rare glimpse ...
