RNA transcription is the genomic process in which a cell produces a duplicate of a gene's DNA sequence. In a study published in Nucleic Acids Research, University of Alabama at Birmingham Department ...

HIV-1 full-length RNA (HIV-1 RNA) plays a central role in viral replication, serving as a template for Gag/Gag-Pol translation and as a genome for the progeny virion. To gain a better understanding of ...

Nano-tRNAseq is based on nanopore sequencing, a technology that can directly sequence individual RNA molecules by passing them through a small pore. Each of the nucleotides that compose an RNA ...

Neurodegenerative diseases are commonly adult-onset conditions characterized by degeneration of specific neuronal populations. Familial forms are caused by mutations in single genes, but most patients ...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections are associated with the risk of progression to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The HCV RNA genome is translated by an internal ribosome entry site ...
