* Obelisks are <1 kb RNA replicators with protein-coding genes and ribozymes * Found in 50% of oral and 7% of gut microbiomes, indicating widespread presence * Their impact on //human health remains ...

In eukaryotic cells, the nuclear envelope is an essential barrier with multiple functions. It separates the nucleus, where precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) is transcribed and processed into mature ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a large-scale screening approach that identifies ...

The use of nucleic acid-based nanostructures as synthetic biological tools to interface with and regulate cell processes remains challenging. A major obstacle lies in nuclear delivery and retention ...

Accurate RNA splicing is essential for gene expression and human health, yet predicting how DNA sequence variations affect ...

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of the Human Genome Project, a monumental scientific achievement that has transformed healthcare and laid the foundation for modern genomics.
