The function of non-coding RNA in the cell has long been a mystery to researchers. Unlike coding RNA, non-coding RNA does not produce proteins -- yet it exists in large quantities. A research team has ...

Analyses of RNA expression reveal molecules underpinning the cancer-associated process of skeletal-muscle wasting, a ...

circRNA, circular RNA; dsRNA, double-stranded RNA; lncRNA, long non-coding RNA; mRNA, messenger RNA; miRNA, microRNA; ncRNA, non-coding RNA; pre-miRNA, precursor miRNA; pri-miRNA, primary miRNA; RISC, ...

By examining genomic variation more closely, scientists can now identify new disease connections with greater speed and accuracy. For centuries, scientists have recognized that certain illnesses can ...

Various sayings equate going fast with going alone. But none of them apply to the gene expression journey described by a research team from the University of Göttingen. The team, led by Heike Krebber, ...

The function of non-coding RNA in the cell has long been a mystery to researchers. Unlike coding RNA, non-coding RNA does not produce proteins – yet it exists in large quantities. A research team from ...

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are central regulators of post-transcriptional gene expression. They modulate key aspects of mRNA metabolism—such as splicing, ...

A new study reveals COVID-19 can alter sperm, potentially impacting offspring behavior. Researchers observed mice offspring ...

Scientists have long suspected connections between heredity and disease, dating back to Hippocrates, who observed certain ...

In the post-genomic era, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators in various cancers and hold potential as minimally invasive diagnostic biomarkers. This study aimed to ...
