CRISPR-Cas13, a powerful RNA-targeting technology is gaining increasing attention as a next-generation gene therapy platform due to its precision and reduced side effects. Utilizing this system, ...

The Tas protein uses an RNA guide to recognize a specific target DNA sequence. A vast search of natural diversity has led scientists at MIT’s McGovern Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and ...

Artificial intelligence can predict on- and off-target activity of CRISPR tools that target RNA instead of DNA, according to new research published in Nature Biotechnology. The study by researchers at ...

Genes contain instructions for protein production, and the central dogma of biology states that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. However, only about 2% of the human genome actually ...

A groundbreaking study reveals that human cells initiate self-destruction processes when viruses disrupt RNA production, offering new insights into innate antiviral defenses. Conducted and reported on ...
