In a recent review published in Science Bulletin, Professor Chen-Yu Zhang’s group at Nanjing University has introduced the concept of “RNA immunity”—a previously underrecognized antiviral mechanism in ...

Just an aside for humor: I’ve imagined our country with a large DNA base of every citizen. If such a thing existed, I’d love to invent a way to shadow a spot of gum with my imaginary invention ...

Ultraviolet (UV) rays from sunlight can cause DNA damage that leads to skin aging and cancer. Fortunately, our bodies have a highly efficient repair system capable of swiftly identifying and ...

FRANKLIN, Ind. (WKRC) - Authorities identified the parents of a baby girl who was found stabbed to death in a trash can over three decades ago. According to WTHR, the Franklin Police Department ...

Designing drugs targeting these regions would require identifying the specific conformations that are responsible for the functions. Regions with low base-pairing rates (high SHAPE) accounted for ...

Efficient antiviral siRNAs design targeting stable single-stranded regions High SHAPE-low Shannon regions represent stable, accessible RNAs in cells, likely exposing long Watson–Crick edges of ...

AlphaGenome is an attempt to further smooth biologists’ work by answering basic questions about how changing DNA letters alters gene activity and, eventually, how genetic mutations affect our ...

Moving toward clinical development, the researchers demonstrated efficient delivery of mRNA mitochondrial base editors using lipid nanoparticles.

Many of the military families who evacuated U.S. military bases in the Middle East because of concerns over the conflict involving Iran and Israel have ended up at Naval Support Activity Naples.

She called this new class of tools “base editing” because it chemically changes a DNA base one letter at a time. “With base editing, not only do we achieve a better outcome, but the steps leading to ...

Geneticists have used a cutting-edge DNA base editing treatment on several patients to cure thalassemia, a prevalent and severe genetic blood disease.
