It all started in the lab. Two Boston University doctoral students, Joshua McGee and Jack Kirsch, were creating and testing different types of RNA—strands of ribonucleic acid, built from chains of ...

The research team discovered that this type of regulation, which appears to influence the expression of about half of all human genes, is found throughout the animal kingdom, as well as in plants. The ...

A large-scale analysis of TOPMed RNA sequencing data shows that most genes are controlled by multiple independent regulatory ...

It's no secret that we need new ways to treat and detect disease, including cancer. Specifically, we need better biomarkers that can be used for diagnosis and better ways to selectively get medicine ...

Spatial biology is a catch-all term for a group of imaging techniques that can locate biomolecules—usually RNA and ...

Plain-language definition: RNA therapy is medicine that works by adding, blocking, or changing RNA instructions inside cells. More formally, it is a class of treatment that uses RNA molecules, or ...

Pacific Biosciences of California PACB recently announced a collaboration with TychoBio, an AI-driven drug discovery company, ...

A group of interdisciplinary Boston University researchers worked together to investigate the promising technology of self-amplifying RNA as a way to deliver lifesaving drugs and create more effective ...

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts. RNA splicing is a cellular process ...
