In a previous study, we showed that these peptides decorate all cellular RNAs and thus impair the binding of RNA-binding proteins to RNA. For his postdoctoral stay he joined the group of André Nussenzweig, where he started to work on DNA repair, particularly focusing on the role of histone H2AX.

But now, by studying DNA extracted from microbes in the blood of almost 10,000 healthy people, this paper shows that there is no such thing. Read Transcription factors bind to DNA and control gene expression. They tend to “group up” in cells. Molecular Systems Biology. Nature Microbiology. Meeussen J.V.W.

Small snippets of double-stranded RNA were sprayed onto hot pepper plants to control a pest, called Frankliniella occidentalis. The RNA strands shut down a specific gene in the insects, and killed half after 7 days. RNA may offer a safer form of pest control in the future. Nature Chemical Biology. Current Biology.

Short DNA strands were discovered that can specifically and tightly bind to zinc and cadmium ions. Perhaps there is now a way to use DNA to extract metals: You could fuse the DNA strands to an antibody, coat them onto electronics, and then use a column to isolate the DNA:metal compounds?
