Researchers have developed a near-single-cell resolution spatial transcriptomic approach to study developmentally regulated RNA processes.

Technological and computational advances in recent years, from cryo-electron microscopy to sequencing technologies and machine learning, have substantially deepened our understanding of RNA splicing, ...

RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut ...

Omics technologies have enabled researchers to study the molecular functions of human tissues. But some tissues—like the brain—are harder to access than others. Because of the limited access to living ...

All living organisms face the problem of parasites — entities that thrive on others, often at the hosts’ expense. As a result, life is characterized by the presence of defence systems that keep such ...

Cancers driven by hiccups in RNA processing can’t hide from our immune system, according to new work published today in Cell. A cross-institutional team Fred Hutch Cancer Center and Memorial Sloan ...

Alzheimer's Disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, affects nearly 40 million individuals globally, resulting in a gradual loss of memory and independence. Despite extensive research over the ...

In an important new study, Chinese researchers have discovered the previously unrecognized role of alternative splicing of the DOC2A gene in schizophrenia. The research was conducted by scientists led ...

On Tuesday, Nobel laureate Thomas Cech spoke at the I Hotel and Conference Center in Champaign about his groundbreaking research on ribonucleic acid, also known as RNA. Cech’s talk covered the ...

Scientists at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) and the University of Las Vegas Nevada (UNLV) have uncovered a genetic link between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and a rare genetic condition ...
