There are always fragments of both DNA and RNA floating in blood—byproducts of natural cell death from all types of tissues and organs throughout the body, including cancerous tumors.

says that their team was eager to build a tool to take advantage of all the data provided by single-cell RNA sequencing, which has revealed a vast array of cell types and cell states in the body.

In a new study published in Cell Genomics, researchers use RNA sequencing to characterize bone metastases from eight cancer ...

DNA acted as the library of all knowledge about ... many other types of RNA have manifested themselves, involved either in gene regulation or in protecting cells against viral infection.

This achievement enables all-RNA-mediated targeted gene integration in human cells. Efficient and precise ... regardless of the type of mutation," said Li Wei, corresponding author of the study.

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology ...

3 Eukaryotic cells, including all animal and plant cells ... the area of the cell outside the nucleus. The three types of RNA are found in different locations. mRNA is made in the nucleus, with each ...

And outside a cell? Forget about it. Voracious, RNA-destroying enzymes are everywhere, secreted by all forms of life as a defense against viruses that spell out their genetic identity in RNA code.

"Textbooks implicate the DNA effects of the drug as the mechanism in all cancer types ... drugs that would enhance its RNA-damaging effects and kill cancer cells more effectively.
