Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) constitute a diverse class of RNA molecules that do not encode proteins but exert critical regulatory roles in virtually all aspects of cellular physiology. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) ...

University of Virginia postdoctoral researcher Róża Przanowska investigates how long non-coding RNA structural domains drive ...

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 ...

Kaushik Chanda is a postdoctoral researcher at The Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology (Scripps Research). He studies how long non-coding RNAs drive structural ...

Researchers at the University of Toronto have mapped the spatial distribution of around 700 long non-coding RNAs, otherwise known as lncRNAs, in the testes. The team discovered much higher levels of ...

Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. But only two percent of the human genome actually encodes ...

A research team from National Taiwan University, Academia Sinica, and National Taiwan University Hospital has uncovered a critical connection between a unique RNA molecule and human aging, including ...

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a key player in understanding complex diseases. Following the landmark ...

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, ...

CRISPR-Cas13, a powerful RNA-targeting technology is gaining increasing attention as a next-generation gene therapy platform due to its precision and reduced side effects. Utilizing this system, ...
