The extraction of high‐quality RNA from plant tissues is a critical prerequisite for gene expression studies and other molecular analyses. Over the past decades, researchers have refined methods to ...

RNA is usually portrayed as a molecule that works deep inside the cell, helping to turn genetic information into proteins. But new research led by Utrecht University scientist Jack Li shows that RNA ...

Thermo Fisher Scientific Launches Invitrogen™ TaqMan™ Cells-to-CT™ HepatoExpress Kit to Simplify Liver Cell Gene Expression and Help Advance Early-Stage Drug ...

The metaphors we used to describe DNA make it sound almost sacred. Proteins, too, are revered. They are the “workhorses of the cell.” They make things happen. RNA, by contrast, has not been so exalted ...

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 ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

It’s no secret that we need new ways to treat and detect disease, including cancer. Specifically, we need better biomarkers that can be used for diagnosis and better ways to selectively get medicine ...
