Higher eukaryotic genomes are bound by a large number of coding and non-coding RNAs, but approaches to comprehensively map the identity and binding sites of these RNAs are lacking. Here UCSD researchers report a method to capture in situ global ...

Bioengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new tool to identify interactions between RNA and DNA molecules. The tool, called MARGI (Mapping RNA Genome Interactions), is the first technology that’s capable of providing a full account ...

During gene expression, protein-coding transcripts are shaped by multiple processing events: 5′ end capping, pre-mRNA splicing, RNA editing, and 3′ end cleavage and polyadenylation. These events are required to produce mature mRNA, which can be subsequently translated. Nearly all of ...
