One such chemical modification is cytidine acetylation (N4-acetylcytidine). Until now, the precise function of this chemical modification within cells has not been clearly understood. In particular, ...
CRISPR-Cas13, a powerful RNA-targeting technology is gaining increasing attention as a next-generation gene therapy platform due to its precision and reduced side effects. Utilizing this system, ...

RNA plays critical roles in nearly all biological processes, but current methods for sequencing RNA are significantly limited. This is partially because RNA molecules are chemically modified within ...
To overcome these limitations, the research team developed a "targeted RNA acetylation system (dCas13-eNAT10)" by combining Cas13, gene scissors that precisely target desired RNA, with a hyperactive ...
