Similarly, although it has been shown that the length of dsRNA can affect the potency of RNAi 26, the precise minimum sequence length to achieve strong RNA interference is not yet known.
The new research, however, paints a different picture. The team discovered a gene that produces an RNA molecule—not a protein—controls where dark pigments are made during butterfly metamorphosis.
New methods to shape RNA molecules into circles could lead to more effective and long-lasting therapies, shows a study by researchers at the University of California San Diego. The advance holds ...
The work was published Aug. 26 in Nature Biomedical Engineering. RNA molecules have emerged as powerful tools in modern medicine. They can silence genes through small interfering RNAs (siRNAs ...
Dai Jianwu and Zhao Yannan from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences employed a combination of lineage tracing and single-cell RNA sequencing ...
The work is titled " Noncoding RNA Terc-53 and hyaluronan receptor Hmmr regulate aging in mice" Mechanistically, they find that Terc-53 binds to and promotes the degradation of Hmmr, leading to ...
