A tiny RNA modification, m6A, plays a crucial role in cell stress responses and is a target for emerging cancer treatments.

Modifications of the chromatin are crucial for the regulation of nearly all DNA-templated biological processes. Single-cell chromatin modification profiling can be used to assess chromatin ...

A new tool called SigRM helps researchers study RNA modifications in individual cells, improving our understanding of how genes are regulated.

Post-translational modifications are changes that are made to proteins after synthesis, typically mediated by enzymes. In this article, we review five examples of some of the most-studied ...

Manipulating genetics has helped mankind in numerous ways. In this article, we consider genetic modification strategies, including genome editing and genetic engineering, the techniques used to ...

Creating tables in Microsoft Word used to be so annoying that most people just did it in Excel, then imported it into Word. It’s worth giving Word 2013’s table tools a try, though, because the ...

RNA gene scissors (CRISPR-Cas13) are gaining significant attention as a next-generation gene therapy with fewer side effects. They can suppress infection by eliminating viral RNA, such as in ...

But while the standard somatic cell modification makes changes to a person’s genome in ways that cannot be passed down to offspring, germline modification does.

A research team at Duke University has shown that RNA viruses are abundantly modified with N6-methyladenosine tags. Those tags influence how viruses infect cells and by extension, human hosts. The new ...

Protecting cells in a Word table isn’t as easy, but it can be done: you insert a Text Form Field control into each cell where you want users to input or modify values. Then, you protect the ...
