ORNL scientists created a biosensor technology that lets researchers visualize and track RNA activity in living plants, using a molecular splicing technique and a fluorescent marker protein. *This ...

RNA acts as a messenger inside cells, carrying instructions from DNA that are translated into proteins that are essential for how cells function. In plants, RNA signals change rapidly as the plants ...

Our genes contain all the instructions our body needs to function, but their expression must be finely regulated to guarantee that each cell performs its role optimally. This is where DNA and RNA ...

Starting from whole plant tissues and dissociating cells (protoplasts) or nuclei from the tissue, RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis by reverse transcription, library preparation followed by sequencing, ...

A research team led by the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a method to accurately and ...

What is DNA, and how does it work? You don't need a degree in genetics to understand. Here, we'll give an overview of DNA and ...

Biologists at Indiana University Bloomington have shown that the surfaces of plant leaves are coated with a diverse array of RNA molecules. The finding suggests that the RNA present on the leaf ...

Inside every cell, a finely tuned metabolic network determines when to build, recycle, or stop producing essential molecules.

German CDMO BioSpring is building a new production facility that it hopes will become one of the world's biggest manufacturing sites for DNA- and RNA-based active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). The ...
