RNA interference – RNAi – functions specifically to silence, or deactivate, genes. Among other applications, it promises to be groundbreaking as a way to treat infections of bees by a commercially ...

While scientists have known for more than two decades that all cells use a strategy called RNA interference to regulate gene ...

A new study revealed how cells defend themselves against jumping genes using RNA interference, and heterochromatin-based ...

Transposons, DNA sequences that can self-replicate and move (jump) throughout the genome, are widespread and can affect cell ...

For decades, the central dogma of molecular biology—DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, protein makes phenotype—was the guiding framework for understanding inheritance and disease. This model explained ...

Researchers from A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a new method, called 'sm-PORE-cupine', to study individual RNA molecules and reveal how their structures influence ...
