Cave Coronavirus in Wuhan Lab Seeded COVID – The Truth Has Always Been Out There, in the Genetics

PLOS: DNA Science

Experiments at the Wuhan facility were done at the lowest two of the four standard biosafety levels, which were established at the dawn of recombinant DNA research in the 1970s. And a change to one specific part of the virus enabled it to locate and glom onto our cells, then slip inside and take over the protein production line.

Proteogenomics reveals markers of chemotherapy resistance and outcome in triple negative breast cancer

Broad Institute

Data from standard DNA and RNA sequencing approaches were integrated with mass spectrometry-based proteomics and phosphoproteomic analyses to derive more complete molecular portraits of treatment-responsive versus treatment-resistant tumors. "The These data suggest a multi-omics predictor for chemotherapy response is within reach.

A Look Back

Dark Matter Blog

As soon as I learned about DNA and RNA, I wanted to be a molecular biologist. Last stops at RNA My last roles in biotech were where my original passion began: DNA and RNA. My last stop at Arrakis Therapeutics is with a company targeting RNA with small molecules. Arrakis is the capstone of my career.

World RNA Day: What impact RNA it had on drug discovery?  

Drug Discovery World

1 August was first chosen as World RNA Day in 2018 as a play on AUG (adenine, uracil and guanine), a triple sequence of RNA (called a codon) that initiates protein synthesis by the cell. Since then, it has been observed to publicise the importance of this molecule in the generation of proteins in the body.

The future outlook for mRNA therapies

Drug Discovery World

Messenger RNA (mRNA) has come into focus within the drug discovery and development as an exciting tool to deliver genetic information. mRNA is a molecule made up of a single strand of ribonucleic acid (RNA). Its job is to carry coding information that is essential to the translation and processing of functional proteins.
