New RNA-sequencing method can help detect numerous modified small RNAs
A team led by a biomedical scientist at the University of California, Riverside, has developed a new RNA-sequencing method– "Panoramic RNA Display by Overcoming RNA Modification Aborted Sequencing," or PANDORA-seq — that can help discover numerous modified small RNAs that were previously undetectable. RNA plays a central role in decoding the genetic information in DNA […]
