RNA is one of the bodies most vital molecules, and it comes in a few forms. For example, messenger RNA fills an essential role in gene expression by copying the sequences of active genes, which are ...

RNA’s Surprising Role in DNA Repair New insights could lead to improved treatments for cancer and other diseases. Francesca Storici and her research team discovered a surprising role for RNA in DNA ...

The APOE2 gene variant protects against Alzheimer's by enhancing DNA repair and preventing neuronal senescence.

The new CRISPR platform, called ΨDNA, reprograms Cas12 nucleases to recognize and act on RNA using a DNA-based guide scaffold ...

When it comes to cancer, tumor suppressor genes are usually thought of as the "good guys." These genes make proteins that ...

Researchers have identified a pathway that triggers an immune response in cells with defective DNA repair. In particular, the ...

BOZEMAN – A team at Montana State University published research this week that shows how RNA, the close chemical cousin to DNA, can be edited using CRISPRs. The work reveals a new process in human ...

A team of engineers at the University of Florida has developed a new form of CRISPR technology that could make diagnostics ...
