Evolutionary theory: Debating the origins of our DNA

Written by
Mr Shaojie Deng proposes the stable complex evolution model, which offers an evolutionary theory for the fundamental characteristics of life.

For over a decade, Mr Shaojie Deng of Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Planning and Natural Resources, China, has been formulating and more recently presenting his new evolutionary theory to the academic world. Over time his thought processes too have evolved with his most recent manuscript centring around the stable complex model as an explanation for the evolution of enzymes and […]

Synthesising circular RNA is as easy as PIE

Written by
Dr Jason Rausch has developed a new protocol for synthesising large, complex, artificial circRNA which enhances the research in this field, as these have significant functionality and can also be genetic biomarkers for certain diseases

Naturally occurring circular loops of RNA, circRNAs, are the result of rare but significant backsplicing events. They are found throughout the eukaryotic domain and have been associated with pathological states such as tumour growth and suppression. Existing molecular techniques have taught us a great deal about circRNAs, but they are often difficult to implement and limited in scope. Dr Jason […]
