Deciphering the tRNA-derived small RNAs: origin, development, and future

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2021
Transfer RNA (tRNA)-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs), a novel category of small noncoding RNAs, are enzymatically cleaved from tRNAs. Previous reports have shed some light on the roles of tsRNAs in the development of human diseases.

Self-association of Coralyne: An ordered thermal destacking

open access: yesResults in Chemistry, 2020
Understanding DNA-ligand interactions is a prerequisite, for designing sequence/structure specific ligands. Generally, stabilization/destabilization of DNA structures as a function of ligand is studied using UV-thermal melting, and the data is usually ...
