EteRNA, an online game with more than 38,000 registered users, allows players to design molecules of ribonucleic acid --- RNA --- that have the power to build proteins or regulate genes.

RNA interference (RNAi) is an important pathway that is used in many different organisms to regulate gene expression. This animation introduces the principles of RNAi involving small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs).

A Brief Introduction to Genetics is a short documentary film that explores the history of genetics & genomics and the underlying concepts that provide the foundational knowledge that today's research is built upon.

Au Niger, des techniques agricoles nouvelles ont transformé certains espaces semi-désertiques en terres plus productives. Des expériences limitées, mais suivies avec attention.

Apprenez à synthétiser l'acide ribonucléique avec un jeu scientifique de haut niveau. Les jeux de recherche biologique commencent à attirer l'attention de la presse.

EteRNA has already attracted the brain power of 5000 players, who aim to design useful synthetic molecules

Over millions of years, retroviruses, which insert their genetic material into the host genome as part of their replication, have left behind bits of their genetic material in vertebrate genomes.

The ebola virus is one of the nastiest pathogens known to man. It corrodes blood vessels and stops clotting, leaving most of its human victims bleeding to death through their pores. And guinea pigs — along with opossums, wallabies and insect-eating bats — have it in their genes.

Scientists still have not come close to creating a living organism from nonbiological materials, especially ones that might have existed on Earth four billion years ago. In other words, scientists have not shown how life began, how inanimate materials become animate.

Andrew Fire shares Nobel Prize for discovering how double-stranded RNA can switch off genes.
