Researchers have revealed that so-called ‘junk DNA’ contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. When people picture DNA, they often imagine a set of genes ...

Breakthrough in CRISPR: HKUST scientists engineered a DNA-guided Cas12a system that targets and cleaves RNA with unprecedented precision. Practical advantages: DNA guides are cheaper, more stable, and ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing. The human genome is a vast landscape, with less than 2% of its sequence encoding proteins. For many years, ...

"With up to half of individuals with rare diseases currently living without a diagnosis, exploring the non-coding DNA can provide answers for families with rare conditions." The researchers found that ...

A new review article published in Genes & Diseases explores the intricate relationship between non-coding RNAs and oxidative stress in cancer progression shedding new light on the mechanisms that ...

Long Noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) are proven to be critical in cancer biology playing a significant role in tumor formation and ...

Researchers at Bar-Ilan University have discovered that changing just one letter in DNA can completely alter sex development in mice. In the new study, published in Nature Communications, a ...

New CRISPR approach: HKUST scientists created a DNA-guided CRISPR-Cas12a system that targets RNA, overturning the traditional ...

Cancer incidence rises sharply with age, yet the biological mechanisms that make older patients more vulnerable to treatment failure remain poorly ...
