To overcome the inherent challenge of translation termination interference caused by stop codon reprogramming in mammalian cells, researchers from Peking University led by Chen Peng from College of ...

Transcription and translation are processes a cell uses to make all proteins the body needs to function from information stored in the sequence of bases in DNA. The four bases (C, A, T/U, and G in the ...

When Daniel Fischer cofounded Tevard Biosciences in 2017, he wasn’t trying to bet on the next hot RNA technology. His interest was more personal. His daughter Natasha has Dravet syndrome, a rare form ...

The virusoid associated with rice yellow mottle virus encodes its own proteins; is it the exception that proves the rule, or the first of many more to come? It’s axiomatic in reviews of virusoids that ...

RNA is a central and universal mediator of genetic information underlying the diversity of cell types and states. The lack of tools for studying and controlling various cell types using RNAs continues ...
