Researchers discover toolkit for RNA sequencing analysis using pantranscri
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
To acquire insight into the degree to which genes are "turned on" and perform tasks in the body, a person's RNA landscape must be mapped to a standard reference. However, when the reference does not provide enough information to allow for correct mapping, researchers may encounter a problem

Scientists discover new role of small RNAs in Salmonella infections
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Salmonella is a food-borne pathogen that infects millions of people each year. These bacteria rely on a complex network of genes and gene products to sense environmental conditions. Researchers investigated the role of small RNAs in helping Salmonella express their virulence genes in a new p

Researchers discover new mechanism to boost RNA therapies
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Investigators from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai have identified how biological pacemaker cells--cells that control your heartbeat--can "fight back" against therapies to biologically correct abnormal heartbeat rates. The research also uncovered a new way to boost the effectivenes

Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
The brain's plasticity--its capacity to change itself by reorganising preexisting neural networks and establishing new ones to acquire new functional properties--makes it possible to learn a new task, master a musical instrument, or adjust to the environment's constant change. Additionally,

Research suggests that antiviral defense regulates intestinal function and
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Besides the skin, the digestive tract is the tissue that is most exposed to environmental influences such as bacteria and viruses. Therefore, cells that form these barriers to the interior of the body also have special defence mechanisms. A research team led by Professor Dr Thorsten Hoppe ha

Research: AI tailors artificial DNA for future drug development
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
How our genes are expressed is a process that is fundamental to the functionality of cells in all living organisms. Simply put, the genetic code in DNA is transcribed to the molecule messenger RNA (mRNA), which tells the cell's factory which protein to produce and in which quantities.
