RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is a powerful tool for molecular biologists looking for what drives mechanisms of disease. 1 RNA-seq is routinely used for both research and clinical applications in diseases ...

For discussion questions and lesson plans, go to the RNA Lab collection on PBS LearningMedia. The standards-based NOVA RNA Lab allows users to explore the science of RNA and learn how to design ...

What is next-generation sequencing? Next-generation sequencing (often noted as NGS), describes the high-throughput technologies that can now determine the sequence of a given nucleic acid strand, such ...

Using cells from human breast cancers and mouse breast cancer models, researchers believe they have significant new evidence that cancer cells exposed to low-oxygen have an advantage when it comes to ...

Algorithms consist of instructions that are carried out (performed) one after another. It is crucial that the steps in an algorithm are performed in the right order - otherwise the algorithm will ...

Kravis Center for Molecular Oncology (CMO). The test uses cutting-edge next-generation DNA-sequencing technology. It is capable of detecting many classes of genomic changes. These include mutations, ...

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.

However, the less stable enol tautomer can also form and lead to mutations if incorporated into DNA during replication. The primary function of guanine is to store and transmit genetic information in ...

The solution, some suggest, lies in deploying female crash test dummies to ensure vehicles are truly safe for women. However, making cars safer for women is complicated, and not everyone agrees ...

Dummies can be very soothing for young babies and, as they get older, can become very attached. But they can also be a source of stress for parents, as there are lots of questions that go ...
