RNA holds the reins in bacteria: U-M researchers observe RNA controlling protein synthesis

Scienmag

Credit: Surajit Chatterjee To better understand how RNA in bacteria gives rise to protein–and along the way, target these processes in the design of new antibiotics–researchers are turning their attention to the unique way this process happens in bacteria.

New CRISPR-Based Tool Called PASTE Gene Editing Inserts Large DNA Sequences at Desired Sites

XTalks

Expanding upon the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system, researchers at MIT have designed a new technique called PASTE gene editing that can cut out defective genes and replace them with new genes in a safer and more efficient way. The MIT research team turned to a family of enzymes called integrases to meet their goal.

Why Proviral DNA Drug Resistance Testing is Useful in Guiding Treatment Decisions for HIV-1 Patients

XTalks

Compared to standard plasma HIV-1 RNA drug resistance profiling, which requires a viral load of at least 500 copies per mL, proviral HIV-1 testing can be performed on samples with much lower virion counts of <50 copies per mL (below the detectable limit in RNA testing). Proviral DNA Genotyping. HIV Drug Resistance Testing.

New discovery shows human cells can write RNA sequences into DNA

Scienmag

In a discovery that challenges long-held dogma in biology, researchers show that mammalian cells can convert RNA sequences back into DNA, a feat more common in viruses than eukaryotic cells PHILADELPHIA – Cells contain machinery that duplicates DNA into a new set that goes into a newly formed cell.
