Individually tailored RNA or DNA-based molecules are able to reliably fight off viral infections in plants, according to a new study. The researchers were able to fend off a common virus using the new ...

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 ...

Cells contain a blueprint in the form of DNA that dictates what they can make. This blueprint is converted into a message ...

The first sprayable insecticide made of RNA can target and kill ravenous Colorado potato beetles while sparing most ...

Our genes contain all the instructions our body needs to function, but their expression must be finely regulated to guarantee that each cell performs its role optimally. This is where DNA and RNA ...

Traditional breeding and genetic modification methods have struggled to keep pace with the rapid evolution of plant viruses. CRISPR/Cas systems, originally derived from bacterial immune responses, ...

The 55th Lewis S. Rosenstiel Award for Distinguished Work in Basic Medical Research has been awarded to professor Steven ...

A joint research team has discovered a new molecular switch that determines when plant leaves begin to age. The research team has identified for the first time a new mechanism in which RNA made from ...

What is DNA, and how does it work? You don't need a degree in genetics to understand. Here, we'll give an overview of DNA and ...
