Researchers uncovered a previously unknown CRISPR immune response in bacteria that targets transfer RNAs. The newly ...

Researchers say discoveries could expand the CRISPR toolbox and lead to more efficient, rapid diagnostic tools for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

How does the cell convert DNA into working proteins? The process of translation can be seen as the decoding of instructions for making proteins, involving mRNA in transcription as well as tRNA. But ...

The new findings strengthen the "RNA world" hypothesis that describes how the first life on Earth could have used RNA instead ...

The CRISPR “gene scissors” have become an important basis for genome-editing technologies in many fields, ranging from biology and medicine to agriculture and industry. A team from the Helmholtz ...

For disorders driven by a known genetic component, research understandably focuses on developing a drug targeting that genetic signature. When that works, the outcome benefits patients but the end ...
