The Hsu lab found that when IS110 excises itself from a genome, the non-coding DNA ends are joined together to produce an RNA molecule – the bridge RNA – that folds into two loops.

A powerful scientific tool for editing the DNA instructions in a genome can now also be applied to RNA as researchers have demonstrated a means by which the CRISPR/Cas9 protein complex can be ...

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a ...

Twist RNA sequencing tools enable minimal hands-on time and increase the scale of samples sequenced through utilizing automation. They are compatible with a wide range of sample inputs, including ...

In their quest to identify the best tool for the task, the researchers tested a variety of methods against a real biological dataset with known matching DNA-RNA pairs.

New method maps RNA in cells at native locations, revealing spatial responses to signals and offering insight into disease ...
