The new database includes data from 27,000 samples collected at sites ranging from Alaskan permafrost to the ocean floor.

In human cells, researchers deploy the genome editor to snip out toxic repetitive sequences.

Circular RNA biogenesis occurs when RNA fragments are bent into closed loops of one or more exons and/or introns.

Transfer RNA fragments prevent jumping genes from hopping around in the mouse embryo, when histone methylation can’t do the job.

An analysis of human cancer genome projects uncovers a counterintuitive loss of ribosomal gene copies.

A heat block, a truck battery, and a novel RNA amplification assay make for in-the-field surveillance of the virus.

Scientists discover transcripts from the same gene that can express both proteins and noncoding RNA.
 

Nearly 20,000 lncRNAs identified in human cells may play some role in cellular activities.

A case study reports evidence of viral replication lingering in the respiratory tract of an infected person, even after the person’s blood was Ebola free.

Barcodes of mRNA travel to the cells' axon terminals, offering a sequencing-based approach to neural mapping.
