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 […]

RNA Sequencing

If DNA is the fundamental code of the genome, RNA is the message. Genes are made active through the process of transcribing the code into RNA, and then translating RNA into protein. This is known as the central dogma of molecular biology. Recently, it’s become apparent that RNA has many other roles to play than […]
