Recently the Targeted Insertion of Short DNA Fragments into Mammalian Cells was Shown to be Possible with the help of CRISPR Cas! The direct injection of Cas9 mRNA, sgRNAs, and DNA oligos or vectors into mammalian cells was reported as… Read More ›
The CRISPR-Cas systems found in bacteria and archaea are versatile small RNAs for adaptive defense and regulation Bacteria and archaea have evolved various defense and regulatory mechanisms allowing them to react to various stressful situations caused by the environment, such… Read More ›
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) have recently emerged as key regulators of metabolic processes! . More and more evidence is accumulating that suggest that the dysregulation of miRNAs may contribute to metabolic abnormalities such as the misregulation of cholesterol and lipid metabolism, insulin… Read More ›
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 ›
What are Piwi- or piRNAs ? Here is the answer: P-element induced wimpy testis (Piwi)-RNAs, or Piwi-interacting RNA, or piRNAs are small RNAs typically 23 to 35 nucleotides long . . During the recent 16 years a group of small… Read More ›
