Tools for studying and using small RNAs: from pathways to functions to therapies
Small RNAs are key regulators of gene expression and genome function, with roles in almost every aspect of biology.

Synthetic biology: applications come of age
Synthetic biology was born just over a decade ago, with the goal of applying engineering principles to biological circuitry.

Chromatin remodelling and the transcription cycle
In the nucleus, DNA is packaged into chromatin through association with histone proteins and this packaging needs to be modulated to enable genes to be expressed.

Applications of zinc finger nucleases
Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) are powerful tools for the directed modification of genomic DNA sequences as ZFNs can be designed to target and cleave specific sequences.

Regulation of microRNA biogenesis, function and degradation
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a large family of post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression that are ~21 nucleotides in length and control many developmental and cellular processes in eukaryotes.

The pervasive and interleaved transcriptome
Our image of the eukaryotic transcriptome is being transformed.

Sequencing technologies — the next generation
DNA sequencing is undergoing a revolution.
December 2005
RNAi and its applications
Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) molecules can be used to induce a potent silencing process, known as RNA interference (RNAi).

Gene map of the extended human major histocompatibility complex
The extended major histocompatibility complex (xMHC) on chromosome 6 is essential for adaptive and innate immunity.

From OMICs to systems biology
The field of 'omics' currently polarizes the community of biologists.
