New Tool to Uncover the Secrets of RNA
Researchers have developed a new tool could help uncover some of the secrets of RNA, essentially by hiding its molecules from the world.
RNA
The transcriptome gives a fuller picture of how genes are expressed. RNA sequencing allows for more detailed information on cellular pathways and expression levels in cancer studies.
How Proteins Become Dangerous Droplets in ALS
For the first time, researchers have outlined the atom-by-atom changes in a group of proteins as they form cell-damaging clumps linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
