RNA is usually portrayed as a molecule that works deep inside the cell, helping to turn genetic information into proteins. But new research led by Utrecht University scientist Jack Li shows that RNA ...

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is a powerful tool in diagnosing Mendelian disorders, but the optimized sequencing depth for this technology has not yet been determined. In a new study published in the ...

Traditional PCR systems require users to set a specified number of cycles according to the assay and the input amount. As a result, input material must be quantified, and samples of varying inputs ...

A forested hill and clouds are in the background of an image of a shallow pool of steaming water, with the ground underneath colored in shades of beige, red, and brown. Life may have first emerged in ...

Increased expression of lnc-FANCI-2 in HPV16-infected cervical cancer tissues and HPV16-and HPV18-infected raft culture tissues. (A) Expression lnc-FANCI-2 in HPV16+ cervical cancer tissues were ...

Chemists at University College London have shown how two of biology's most fundamental ingredients, RNA (ribonucleic acid) and amino acids, could have spontaneously joined together at the origin of ...

Look inside a brain cell with Huntington’s disease or ALS and you are likely to find RNA clumped together. These solid-like clusters, thought to be irreversible, can act as sponges that soak up ...

Dietitians and doctors have been touting for years the importance of eating a balanced diet to fuel your body properly and lower the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and obesity. That ...

RNA sequencing has emerged as a powerful supplement to DNA sequencing for Mendelian disease diagnosis, but clinical translation of diagnostic RNA-seq has not been widely achieved. Researchers at ...
