An ancient RNA-guided system with potential to expand gene-editing capabilities has been identified. Researchers at MIT’s McGovern Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard (both MA, USA) ...

Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this ...

Even without deep computational skills, scientists can use the CRISPRware program to quickly browse entire libraries of precomputed guide RNAs for six model organisms, zoom in on their gene or region ...

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 ...

By Hugo Francisco de Souza Emerging research suggests reversible RNA editing mechanisms may influence heart disease biology while opening new avenues for biomarkers and next-generation cardiovascular ...

Lilac Biosciences, a biotechnology company spun out of the Giuliani RNA Center at Brown University, developing quantitative RNA-based analytical tools, announced a research collaboration with Soin ...

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 ...
