In a recent study published in the journal Cell, researchers developed a deep learning model, "LucaProt," a transformer-based AI model to detect highly divergent ribonucleic acid (RNA)-dependent RNA ...

A single enzyme that can generate all four nucleoside triphosphates, the building blocks of ribonucleic acid (RNA), has been identified by researchers at the Institute of Science Tokyo. The study was ...

Thanks to a first-of-its-kind platform, we are starting to understand how the molecular engine responsible for transcription in mammals controls its speed. A team of researchers from The Rockefeller ...

The field of cancer epigenetics examines how heritable changes in gene regulation - independent of DNA sequence - impact ...

Transcription factors are the most powerful genes in our body. They are master regulators and have been implicated in our biggest diseases, even aging itself. Yet, many in the pharmaceutical industry ...

Cholera remains a major global public health challenge, with an estimated 1.3 to 4 million cases and tens of thousands of deaths reported worldwide each year. Caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae , ...

The technology, called the Viral-Engineered RNA-based Activation System (VERAS), hijacks the virus's own replication machinery to switch on reporter or therapeutic genes precisely in infected cells.
