Tag: RNA[1]
A new drug suppresses the virus in chimps without generating resistance. Creating Cell Parts from Scratch A newly made synthetic ribosome is an important step in the quest to create artificial life forms. Devices that self-assemble from biological molecules could represent the future of drug delivery. A Novel Approach to DNA Analysis Comparing fruit flies reveals a new way to identify the functional elements of genomes. Crops That Shut Down Pests' Genes Monsanto is developing genetically modified plants that use RNA interference to kill the insects that eat them. A new technique could detect early signs of some diseases. Nanotubes can transport RNA into the human immune system's white blood cells, making the cells less vulnerable to attack by the HIV virus. Researchers at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center have found that RNA may be a potential tool in activating dormant genes. [1]
