Kirino & Mourelatos and Ohara et al. showed in 2007 that Piwi RNAs (piRNAs) are 2′-O-methylated at the 3′-end Several thousands of piwi RNA (piRNA) species that are typically 24–32 nucleotide (nt) long have been found in mammals, zebrafish, and… Read More ›
Bridged Nucleic Acid (BNA) based FISH probes are smart tools available from Biosynthesis Inc. Recent advancements in the design and development of molecular probes and image analysis has made fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) a powerful tool. Although being a… Read More ›
Have you ever asked yourself the following questions? . Why do we age? When do we start aging? Is there a biomarker for aging? Is there a limit to how old we can grow? . Many theories have been proposed… Read More ›
What is DNA Methylation? . DNA methylation is a biochemical reaction that adds a methyl group to DNA nucleotides. The methylation of DNA has been found to alter the expression of genes in cells during development. BSI can help you… Read More ›
MicroRNAs are small non-coding single-stranded RNA molecules MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding single-stranded RNA molecules consisting of approximately 21 to 22 nucleotides that regulate posttranscriptional gene expression in metazoans and plants. miRNAs are usually generated from noncoding regions of gene… Read More ›
