RNA plays critical roles in nearly all biological processes, but current methods for sequencing RNA are significantly limited. This is partially because RNA molecules are chemically modified within ...

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 ...

Marlene Belfort does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond ...

Scalp tape-strips may represent a new, minimally invasive means by which to assess disease activity and treatment response in ...

Understand the stages of a standard RNA-seq bioinformatics workflow, including the role of QC, alignment, gene expression quantification, and specialized application analyses Identify key QC metrics ...

A newly revealed “aging cliff” in sperm RNA marks a conserved molecular transition from youth to later life, offering fresh insight into how a father’s age may influence the earliest stages of ...

RNA sequencing has emerged as a powerful supplement to DNA sequencing for Mendelian disease diagnosis, but clinical translation of diagnostic RNA-seq has not been widely achieved. Researchers at ...

CHICAGO – A new gene expression atlas developed using single-cell RNA sequencing data shows how normal hematopoietic cells differentiate and was used to catalog the multiple ways that aberrant ...

The so-called ticking biological clock has been framed largely as a concern for women. We talk about egg freezing, ovarian reserve, and the ticking timeline of maternal fertility. Meanwhile, the male ...
