ETH Zurich researchers develop RNA archiving method

Scientists at ETH Zurich's Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering announce a new method that archives RNA molecules in cells, enabling researchers to examine not only a cell's current state but also reconstruct which genes were active in the past. The method uses three optimized proteins to concentrate RNA in a film around cell mitochondria, protecting it from natural breakdown.
“Among other reasons, this glimpse into the past is of interest because it tells you about a cell's short-lived responses – of which there are many. Immune and stress responses are just a few examples.”
