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 ...

Researchers discover that messenger RNA discarded by laboratories is the biological key to preventing essential proteins from ...

Several neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs), notably amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) are characterized by pathological cytoplasmic aggregation of TAR ...

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 advent of high-throughput sequencing uncovered that our genome is pervasively transcribed into RNAs that are seemingly not translated into proteins. It was also found that non-coding RNA ...

Cancer is most treatable in its early stages, so finding innovative and non-invasive methods to diagnose cancer early on is crucial for fighting the disease. Liquid biopsies, which require just a ...

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 ...

What is the full form of RNA? Explore its meaning, single-stranded structure, functions, how it differs from DNA, its role in ...

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, ...

Messenger RNA is vital to cells, and now scientists have discovered a critical new role for this crucial molecule.. | ...

Scripps Research postdoctoral researcher Kaushik Chanda explores the mechanisms by which non-coding transcripts modulate neuronal function and structural integrity during learning and memory loss.

Researchers reveal the fundamental role that mRNA’s tail, the 3′UTR, plays in the folding of complex regulatory proteins. Proteins are how cells get work done. They carry out nearly every important ...
