RNA-Seq – News and Features

A group of Berlin researchers in collaboration with international scientists have found differences in heart inflammation caused by COVID-19, anti-COVID-19 vaccination, and non-COVID-19 myocarditis.

New research brings scientists one step closer to understanding Rett Syndrome, a rare genetic disease that affects 1 in 10,000 newborn girls.

University of Michigan researchers developed a sponge-like implant that tracks early immune activity in MS-like disease. Using insights from the implant, they designed nanoparticles that halted or reduced symptoms in mice.

Deep learning models have shed light on how genetic switches controlling gene activity define brain cell types across species.

Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory created an aging breast tissue atlas, revealing how genetic and molecular shifts may increase cancer risk. Changes in epithelial, immune and stromal cells create a tumor-friendly microenvironment.

New studies show that bird and mammal brains evolved separately, with distinct genetic programs and developmental mechanisms. Researchers found that these species developed similar functions through different evolutionary paths.

Researchers at Fred Hutch and MD Anderson discovered RNA Polymerase II on histone genes as a biomarker for cancer aggressiveness. Using CUTAC technology, they accurately predicted tumor severity and recurrence in meningioma and breast cancer.

A new study reveals that sexual partners exchange unique bacterial signatures, detectable even when DNA evidence is absent. Researchers propose using this "sexome" as a forensic tool to identify perpetrators in sexual assault cases.

New research has found that changes to the intermediate filament (IF) protein, vimentin, were found to promote tumor growth.

New research has revealed important insights into the activation dynamics of neural stem cells.
