RNA gene scissors (CRISPR-Cas13) are gaining significant attention as a next-generation gene therapy with fewer side effects.

They discovered microRNA, a new class of tiny RNA molecules that play a crucial role in gene regulation ... other small RNA molecules in both plants and animals, for example as a means of ...

However, exactly how these spines evolved in various plant species that are not closely related wasn’t fully understood—until now. A team of researchers recently found that the gene coding for ...

Now, in a breakthrough discovery, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) has found that the same ancient gene family is responsible for prickles across many plants, despite millions of years of ...

They showed that shutting down a damaged copy of a gene called a microRNA (miRNA) enabled the animals to regain hearing. The approach by a research team supported by the National Institutes of ...

Functional divergence of the plant miRNA family: molecular and/or genetic studies to investigate ... MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small single-stranded non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression ...

Plant development and reproduction are complex processes ... Despite important progress in the last years, our understanding of miRNAs’ roles remains incomplete. Within a MIRNA gene family, functional ...

MicroRNAs are important regulators of gene expression. However, predicting when and where miRNAs will exert their effects can limit research on these interesting molecules. The MicroRNA Target ...

Using whole genome sequencing, researchers identified a single variant in a microRNA gene, MIR145-5p ... For the child's family, the discovery helped unravel the mystery of a condition that ...

Abiotic stresses such as nutritional imbalance, salt, light intensity, and high and low temperatures negatively affect plant growth ... to the SIR2 family and were named SRT (Pandey et al., 2002).

involved in microRNA(miRNA)-mediated gene silencing in human cells. The study can be found on the bioRxiv* preprint server before undergoing peer review. Study: The SARS-CoV-2 protein NSP2 impairs ...

Working with the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, the Salk team discovered that the CLASSY gene family (CLSY 1-4) acts at different locations depending on the tissue, revealing how diverse ...
