Gene expression is linked to RNA transcription, which cannot happen without RNA polymerase. However, this is where the similarities between prokaryote and eukaryote expression end. Central to the ...

IGF2BP2 binds to a number of RNA transcripts and has been suggested to function as a tumor promoter, although little is known regarding the mechanisms that regulate its roles in RNA metabolism. Here ...

The expression of symptoms of viral infections is a byproduct of complex virus-host molecular pathways. These remain largely unknown, especially in the case of fungus-virus pathogen systems. Fungal ...

A research team from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has made an advance in understanding the molecular machinery of RNA silencing. The team uncovered how the human enzyme ...

Genetically speaking, it’s a bacterium’s worst-case scenario: during transcription, newly minted RNA sticks to its DNA template, forming a 3-stranded structure known as an R-loop. While these ...

RNAConnect, developer of enzymatic tools for visualizing and manipulating RNA, today announced the release of the UltraMarathonRT ® Two-Step RT-qPCR Kit, a next-generation tool for RNA researchers ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai say they have made a new discovery about how human cells make RNA, a molecule that functions as a set of blueprints that tell cells how to ...

A team from University of Toronto Engineering is the first to synthesize long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) outside the cell—a new ...

A team at UT Southwestern Medical Center has identified a structural trick that lets viruses translate their genetic code inside human cells, even when that code is riddled with “bad” codons the host ...

New research reveals how the RapA enzyme protects against R-loop cytotoxicity in E. coli. Genetically speaking, it's a bacterium's worst-case scenario: during transcription, newly minted RNA sticks to ...
