A virus relies on the host's translation machinery to replicate itself and become infectious. Translation efficiency ...

Researchers uncovered a previously unknown CRISPR immune response in bacteria that targets transfer RNAs. The newly ...

Researchers say discoveries could expand the CRISPR toolbox and lead to more efficient, rapid diagnostic tools for detecting COVID-19, influenza, and RSV.

Scientists have discovered a new CRISPR mechanism with precise activity, expanding the potential applications of the existing ...

Across all domains of life, immune defenses foil invading viruses by making it impossible for the viruses to replicate. Most ...

Rare diseases, defined by FDA as “a disease or condition that affects less than 200,000 people in the United States” (1), may ...

A novel CRISPR defense mechanism, unlike known nucleases, specifically destroys transfer ribonucleic acids (tRNA) that are ...

Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is a type of RNA molecule that helps decode a messenger RNA (mRNA) sequence into a protein. tRNAs function at specific sites in the ribosome during translation, which ...

For disorders driven by a known genetic component, research understandably focuses on developing a drug targeting that genetic signature. When that works, the outcome benefits patients but the end ...

When Daniel Fischer cofounded Tevard Biosciences in 2017, he wasn’t trying to bet on the next hot RNA technology. His interest was more personal. His daughter Natasha has Dravet syndrome, a rare form ...
