Standard genetic sequencing approaches can tell you a lot about the genetic makeup and activity in a sample, like a piece of ...

Researchers have shown, for the first time, how the genetic material of the Nipah virus replicates in infected cells. The ...

What if you could take a picture of every gene inside a living organism—not with light, but with DNA itself? Scientists at ...

The researchers were examining how the 3D organization of the genome controls development and needed to image hundreds of RNA molecules in a thick tissue sample to understand where and how genes were ...

Researchers have developed 'tomoseqr' -- a new software tool that enables easy estimation of the three-dimensional (3D) spatial distribution of gene expression. Tomoseqr is free to use and has been ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

Bioluminescent luciferase enzymes have historically been too dim to use as probes in living tissue. But recent advances have ...

The machinery inserts itself into the cell membrane and a channel forms, allowing N proteins and RNA (genetic instructions) to enter the lung cell. TIME ELAPSED: ABOUT 10 MINUTES It Replicates ...

Proteins that trigger cell senescence occupy much of the literature on aging, but a small RNA moves into the limelight. Kamal is a freelance science journalist based in the UK with a PhD in virology ...
