In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read ...

In a new study published in Cell Reports, researchers at the University of Freiburg reveal how a disordered protein segment helps connect two key steps of gene expression: the reading of genes and the ...

The gene editor -- called evoCAST -- goes a long way toward solving a problem that has confounded the development of gene therapies from the field's beginnings: How to add long stretches of DNA to ...

A physician reflects on the burden of caregivers and the tragic story of Gene Hackman and Betsy Arakawa. He also emphasizes the importance of community support for caregivers and encourages acts ...

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The Rochester Fire Department says they responded to a structure fire at Bleile Terrace in Rochester Tuesday afternoon. At around noon Tuesday, fire crews got to the scene and ...

SINGAPORE – A new drug based on gene-editing technology could soon provide respite to patients suffering from a rare and potentially fatal genetic heart disease. Transthyretin amyloid ...

In higher eukaryotes, a vast variety of RNAs is transcribed from genomic DNAs. The transcribed RNAs are subjected to RNA processing steps, such as splicing, ...

Gene regulation refers to the mechanisms that act to induce or repress the expression of a gene. These include structural and chemical changes to the genetic material, binding of proteins to ...

Gene therapy involves the introduction of new genes into cells, to restore or add gene expression, for the purpose of treating disease. Most commonly a mutated gene is replaced with DNA encoding a ...
