Researchers show that polymerase theta can efficiently convert RNA sequences back into DNA, a feat more common in viruses than eukaryotic cells. Editor's Note: Thomas Jefferson University issued the ...
The Aicardi–Goutières syndrome is a genetic encephalopathy that is associated with childhood illness and death. The syndrome is hypothesized to be due to misidentification of self-derived nucleic ...
Joint research led by Yutaro Shuto, Ryoya Nakagawa, and Osamu Nureki of the University of Tokyo determined the spatial structure of various processes of a novel gene-editing tool called "prime editor.
Surface model of SpCas9–reverse transcriptase–pegRNA–target DNA complex. The prime editor, composed of a SpCas9 and a reverse transcriptase, reverse transcribes template sequence in pegRNA, resulting ...
A newly revealed drug-binding site on human immunodeficiency virus reverse transcriptase could lead to a new class of HIV medications. Structures of drug complexes of HIV reverse transcriptase have ...
† Drugs combined with NRTIs or NRTIs/NNRTIs are not listed. NNRTIs: Non-nucleoside reverse-transcriptase inhibitors; NRTIs: Nucleos(t)ide analog reverse-transcriptase inhibitors. Drug-resistance amino ...
Just like us, bacteria are under constant threat of infection by viruses (called phages). We’ve found that many bacteria are armed with sophisticated viral defence systems powered by reverse ...
Reverse transcriptase selection can make or break your molecular biology experiments. From thermostability to fidelity, each feature impacts cDNA yield and accuracy. Understanding your RNA quality, ...
