Starting from whole plant tissues and dissociating cells (protoplasts) or nuclei from the tissue, RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis by reverse transcription, library preparation followed by sequencing, ...

ORNL scientists created a biosensor technology that lets researchers visualize and track RNA activity in living plants, using a molecular splicing technique and a fluorescent marker protein. *This ...

Blood RNA extraction is fundamental to modern biomedical research and clinical diagnostics, providing the basis for comprehensive gene expression profiling. This process involves isolating ...

A new nanotube-based RNA delivery system boosts plant regeneration by switching off a molecule that blocks shoot growth, without changing the plant's DNA. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Plant biotechnology has ...

Biologists at Indiana University Bloomington have shown that the surfaces of plant leaves are coated with a diverse array of RNA molecules. The finding suggests that the RNA present on the leaf ...

The venture capital firm Flagship Pioneering has publicly launched the start-up Terrana Biosciences, which is using RNA to program plants to resist pests and disease. With a $50 million initial ...
