RNA variant imaging for cancer diagnosis
RNA Variant Imaging is attracting attention because it addresses a persistent blind spot in cancer diagnostics: many clinically relevant RNA isoforms, splice events, and fusion transcripts are hard to interpret from DNA data alone. Recent work from 2024 to ...
Autism-risk mutations reveal two opposing patterns of brain gene activity
Analysis of more than 1,000 mouse brain transcriptomes identifies shared molecular patterns that vary with sex and respond differently to experimental drug exposure Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with more than 1,200 risk genes, raising a fundamental question: ...
Avoiding a sticky situation: how cells stop messenger RNAs from clumping together
Messenger RNA, or mRNA, is best known for carrying genetic instructions from DNA to the cellular machinery that makes proteins. But all RNA molecules have another, less appreciated property: they are naturally sticky. When RNA is removed from cells ...
Single Cell Discoveries Acquires TATAA Biocenter to Create an End-to-End Precision Biology CRO
Single Cell Discoveries (SCD), a specialist contract research organization (CRO) focused on discovery transcriptomics, has completed the acquisition of TATAA Biocenter, a globally recognized leader in qPCR, bioanalytical services, and molecular assay development. The combination creates one of Europe’s ...
RNA Sequencing identifies new tick-borne virus that causes flu-like illness
Scientists in China have identified a novel tick-borne virus that causes an influenza-like illness characterized by fever, fatigue, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, and abnormal lab findings. The team, led by researchers from the State Key Laboratory of Pathogen and Biosecurity ...
Eclipsebio expands its RNA characterization capabilities with multi-attribute nanopore-based sequencing assay eSTRAND RNA QC™
eSTRAND RNA QC™ uses nanopore-based direct RNA sequencing to offer multi-attribute RNA characterization.
