Antibiotic-driven modifications to ribosomal RNA (rRNA) have been suspected of giving rise to antibiotic resistance. For example, antibiotics can alter methylation patterns in rRNA, changing rRNA ...

University of Chicago researchers have developed a liquid biopsy test based on modification patterns in microbiome-derived cell-free RNA that predicts colorectal cancer (CRC) with greater accuracy ...

James Chappell, associate professor of biosciences and bioengineering at Rice University. In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, ...

As antibiotic-resistant infections rise and are projected to cause up to 10 million deaths per year by 2050, scientists are looking to bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, as an alternative.

Scientists at IOCB Prague are uncovering new details of gene transcription. They have identified a previously unknown ...

The human body has to protect itself from pathogens and infectious agents, and there are a variety of ways for the immune system to sense foreign invaders, and react to the threats they may pose. But ...

New research published today in Nature from Ryan Flynn, MD, PhD, in collaboration with Vijay Rathinam, DVM, PhD, and his graduate student Vincent Graziano at UConn Health and other colleagues at ...

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 ...

Scientists have found a new process that happens when an active gene is transcribed from DNA into messenger RNA.. | Cell And ...
