A new paper has solved the 20-year mystery of how epigenetic modifications act as traffic lights to control gene expression and could ultimately speed up the development of a new class of epigenetic cancer drugs. But, until now, scientists lacked an understanding of what the chemical tag does, despite many years of research.

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). The benefits of mRNA mRNA-based therapies have multiple benefits over existing DNA and protein platforms.

As a result, scientists have been unable to determine whether the cells possess distinctive attributes that HIV-cure-directed therapies may exploit. Using data produced by FIND-Seq, the scientists compared the gene expression patterns of HIV-infected memory CD4+ T cells to those of HIV-uninfected memory CD4+ T cells in the same individuals.
