ORNL scientists created a biosensor technology that lets researchers visualize and track RNA activity in living plants, using a molecular splicing technique and a fluorescent marker protein. *This ...

One such chemical modification is cytidine acetylation (N4-acetylcytidine). Until now, the precise function of this chemical modification within cells has not been clearly understood. In particular, ...

A new study led by Nicolás Bologna, a CSIC researcher at the Center for Research in Agricultural Genomics (CRAG), sheds light on the crucial role of the N-terminal extension (NTE) of AGO proteins, ...

A new nanotube-based RNA delivery system boosts plant regeneration by switching off a molecule that blocks shoot growth, without changing the plant's DNA. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Plant biotechnology has ...

RNA plays critical roles in nearly all biological processes, but current methods for sequencing RNA are significantly limited. This is partially because RNA molecules are chemically modified within ...

A pioneering artificial intelligence (AI) powered model able to understand the sequences and structure patterns that make up the genetic 'language' of plants, has been launched by a research ...

Emerging research highlights the transformative potential of m6A RNA modification in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). As the most abundant internal modification of ...
