RNA, short for Ribonucleic Acid, is a molecule found in the human body that is able to form polymers and secondary structures, and can be used for various activities including decoding DNA and transferring the information to the Ribosome (tRNA), incorporation into the Ribosome (rRNA), as well as many regulatory activities concerning the expression of genes.

Spatialomics leverages multiplex imaging to achieve translational profiling of tissue specimens by assessing the relative spatial orientations of biological structures with RNA and protein e...
C9orf72 repeat expansions cause inherited amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/frontotemporal dementia (ALS/FTD) and result in both loss of C9orf72 protein expression and production of potentially...
Employing a metagenomic search, we identified a family of miniature CRISPR-Cas type V-L systems capable of RNA-guided dsDNA target cleavage without a tracrRNA. A bacterial depletion screen r...
The use of adeno-associated viruses (AAV) as gene delivery vectors has vast potential for the treatment of many severe human diseases. A small group of intensively studied AAV capsids have b...

Advancements in protein and gene therapy research have led to more complex modalities being developed. In addition, the desire for a deeper understanding of these molecules enhances the need...
Characterization of rare cells remains a major challenge for the evaluation and understanding of key biological systems, such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from liquid biopsy, stem cells...
Learning Objectives: 1. Describe alternative (non-B) DNA structures, how prevalent are they and what are their biological implications? 2. Explain why non-B DNA structures might be relevant...
The therapeutic use of chimeric antigen receptor T cells has achieved significant success in the treatment of B cells malignancies. Despite promising results in mouse tumor models, a similar...
The current version of the human reference genome, GRCh38, contains a number of errors including 1.2 Mbp of falsely duplicated and 8.04 Mbp of collapsed regions. These errors impact the vari...
