]]> Thu, 26 Feb 2009 16:00:00 EDT The New York Academy of Sciences, 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich St. at Barclay St., 40th fl.: The Chemical Biology Discussion Group provides a forum for lively discussion and for establishing connections, and perhaps collaborations, between chemists armed with novel technologies and biologists receptive to using these approaches to solve their chosen biological problem.

]]> Tue, 24 Feb 2009 09:00:00 EDT The New York Academy of Sciences, 7 World Trade Center, 250 Greenwich St. at Barclay St., 40th fl.: This symposium will discuss the opportunity to harness the RNAi pathway to silence disease-causing genes, and in particular the development of therapeutics directed against targets that are otherwise not addressable with current medicines.

]]> Fri, 1 Aug 2008 00:00:00 EDT Small RNAs are powerful regulators of gene expression. Can researchers harness their gene-silencing abilities to treat diseases?

]]> Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:00:00 EDT New technologies are making it possible to sequence megabases of nuclear DNA and cDNAs at a time and, consequently, to investigate new kinds of biological problems.

]]> Mon, 10 Dec 2007 00:00:00 EDT Researchers are rapidly uncovering new examples of gene regulation by noncoding RNAs, finding that they play roles in gene transcription, X chromosome inactivation, and epigenetic inheritance.

]]> Wed, 8 Aug 2007 00:00:00 EDT From embryonic stem cell development to the formation of neuronal connections, small RNAs can be found guiding the way.

]]> Thu, 26 Jul 2007 00:00:00 EDT Cells employ numerous tactics to alter their protein content at any given time. Researchers are uncovering the details of how translation is controlled.
