RNAConnect, a life science company providing next generation tools to the RNA community, today announced the commercial availability of the UltraMarathonRT ® Direct RNA‑Seq (uMRT DRS) Kit, a ...

How life begins remains an unsolved question. One key component might be RNA, a molecular cousin of DNA found in every form of life on Earth, and now scientists say they have shown how it could have ...

Fibrosis, resulting from excess extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition, is a feature of adipose tissue (AT) dysfunction and obesity-related insulin resistance. Emerging evidence indicates that ...

In 2010, tusk hunters scouring a riverbank near Siberia’s Arctic coast discovered the mummy of a juvenile mammoth. The animal, nicknamed “Yuka” after the nearby village of Yukagir, had been frozen for ...

Researchers have sequenced the oldest RNA ever recovered, taken from a woolly mammoth frozen for nearly 40,000 years. The RNA reveals which genes were active in its tissues, offering a rare glimpse ...

Scientists have recovered ancient molecules of RNA from a juvenile mammoth named Yuka, who died 40,000 years ago in what is now Siberia. These biological remnants are providing insight into the last ...

It was 2012 when Love Dalén, a paleogeneticist at Stockholm University, first laid eyes upon a special specimen on a lab table in eastern Siberia. "Our Russian collaborators said, 'Come here into this ...

Some 39,000 years ago, a woolly mammoth died in present-day Siberia, destined to be blanketed by ice and permafrost that would end up preserving its body — even down to the hair and muscle. Now, that ...

A comprehensive review article titled “Bioinformatics perspectives on transcriptomics: A comprehensive review of bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing analyses,” published in Quantitative Biology, ...

RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is a powerful tool in diagnosing Mendelian disorders, but the optimized sequencing depth for this technology has not yet been determined. In a new study published in the ...

For centuries, scientists have recognized that certain illnesses can run in families, an idea that dates back to Hippocrates. Over time, researchers have become increasingly skilled at uncovering how ...
