Focusing on understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate mRNA translation, localization and stability and role of non-coding RNAs in this process. Up to 90% of human DNA is estimated to be transcribed into so called non-coding RNAs that are...

github.com - bpRNA, a novel annotation tool capable of parsing RNA structures, including complex pseudoknot-containing RNAs, to yield an objective, precise, compact, unambiguous, easily-interpretable description of all loops, stems, and pseudoknots, along with...

The method used to isolate, enrich and sequence a sample will affect the composition of the sequencing data in terms of the types of RNA species represented and their relative abundances

Detecting piRNAs involves a combination of computational and analytical methods to identify these unique small RNAs and their roles in gene regulation and transposable element suppression. By following this step-by-step guide, you can confidently...

There are only 10,000 loops instead of the predicted millions, and they form on/off switches in DNA.

Awesome viddeo explaining the way in which the antibody, HuLuc 63, appears to induce anti-tumor effects by binding to a protein that is only expressed on the surface of myeloma cells. This initiates antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity activity...

Bacterial cells outnumber human cells 10-to-1 in the average person. Bacterial genes outnumber human genes 100-to-1. Mayo Clinic and the Center for Individualized Medicine are working to understand these diverse populations and design better...

http://www.ted.com We have no ways to directly observe molecules and what they do -- Drew Berry wants to change that. At TEDxSydney he shows his scientifically accurate (and entertaining!) animations that help researchers see unseeable processes...

Protein is a part of every cell in your body, and no other nutrient plays as many different roles in keeping you alive and healthy. Protein is the building block of our body, and amino acids are the main areas of interest. We have emphasized on all...
