Editing and modification in trypanosomatids: the resha** of non-coding RNAs
Trypanosomatids include a number of protozoan parasites that infect over 27 million people worldwide. Besides their medical importance, these... -
Discovery and structural mechanism of DNA endonucleases guided by RAGATH-18-derived RNAs
CRISPR-Cas systems and IS200/IS605 transposon-associated TnpBs have been utilized for the development of genome editing technologies. Using...

Long non-coding RNAs: definitions, functions, challenges and recommendations
Genes specifying long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) occupy a large fraction of the genomes of complex organisms. The term ‘lncRNAs’ encompasses RNA...

Targeted gene deletion with SpCas9 and multiple guide RNAs in Arabidopsis thaliana: four are better than two
BackgroundIn plant genome editing, RNA-guided nucleases such as Cas9 from Streptococcus pyogenes ( Sp Cas9) predominantly induce small insertions or...

Tumor-derived exosomal non-coding RNAs as diagnostic biomarkers in cancer
Almost all clinical oncologists agree that the discovery of reliable, accessible, and non-invasive biomarkers is necessary to decrease cancer...

Intron-encoded cistronic transcripts for minimally invasive monitoring of coding and non-coding RNAs
Despite their fundamental role in assessing (patho)physiological cell states, conventional gene reporters can follow gene expression but leave scars...

Structural insights into double-stranded RNA recognition and transport by SID-1
RNA uptake by cells is critical for RNA-mediated gene interference (RNAi) and RNA-based therapeutics. In Caenorhabditis elegans , RNAi is systemic as...

Spatial imaging of glycoRNA in single cells with ARPLA
Little is known about the biological roles of glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), a recently discovered class of glycosylated molecules, because of a lack...

Non-coding RNAs in the interaction between rice and Meloidogyne graminicola
BackgroundRoot knot nematodes (RKN) are plant parasitic nematodes causing major yield losses of widely consumed food crops such as rice ( Oryza sativa ...

Cellular origins of dsRNA, their recognition and consequences
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is associated with most viral infections — it either constitutes the viral genome (in the case of dsRNA viruses) or is...

Engineered circular ADAR-recruiting RNAs increase the efficiency and fidelity of RNA editing in vitro and in vivo
Current methods for programmed RNA editing using endogenous ADAR enzymes and engineered ADAR-recruiting RNAs (arRNAs) suffer from low efficiency and...

Mechanisms and functions of RNA-guided RNA modification
RNA-guided 2’-O-methylations and pseudouridylations occur in several different types of RNAs and in a wide range of organisms. Hundreds of the RNAs... -
Genome-wide analysis of RNA-chromatin interactions in lizards as a mean for functional lncRNA identification
BackgroundLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are defined as transcribed molecules longer than 200 nucleotides with little to no protein-coding potential....

The Prospects of RNAs and Common Significant Pathways in Cancer Therapy and Regenerative Medicine
Cells undergoing initiation of carcinogenesis and regeneration often share most of the molecular pathways. Consequently, cancer treatment may... -
Comparative RNA Genomics
Over the last quarter of a century it has become clear that RNA is much more than just a boring intermediate in protein expression. Ancient RNAs... -
Purification of In Vivo or In Vitro-Assembled RNA-Protein Complexes by RNA Centric Methods
Throughout their entire life cycle, RNAs are associated with RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), forming ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes with highly... -
Structural basis of tRNA recognition by the m3C RNA methyltransferase METTL6 in complex with SerRS seryl-tRNA synthetase
Methylation of cytosine 32 in the anticodon loop of tRNAs to 3-methylcytosine (m 3 C) is crucial for cellular translation fidelity. Misregulation of...

Structural basis for RNA slicing by a plant Argonaute
Argonaute (AGO) proteins use small RNAs to recognize transcripts targeted for silencing in plants and animals. Many AGOs cleave target RNAs using an...
