In addition, we annotated 8,801 automatically derived small RNAs and 9,640 manually curated long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) loci 17. Comparing lncRNAs to other ENCODE data indicates that lncRNAs are ...

Their findings, recently published in Nucleic Acids Research, spotlight TERRA—a long non-coding RNA transcribed from the ends of chromosomes—as a potential biomarker for age-related and ...

Two types of RNA in our cell: Coding RNA directs cells to make proteins; Non-coding RNA performs a wide range of activities including gene regulation and maintaining chromosome structure.

The function of noncoding RNA in the cell has long been a mystery to researchers. Unlike coding RNA, noncoding RNA does not produce proteins—yet it exists in large quantities.

Yale researchers have developed a new and safe family of RNA-editing tools that utilize an RNA-targeting activity that they found “hidden” inside a popular gene editing tool known as CRISPR-Cas9.

A research team led by Prof. GU Hongcang and ZHANG Fan from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has identified a novel long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)-driven regulatory ...

We mapped the human genome decades ago, but most of it is still a black box. Now, UNSW scientists have developed a tool to peer inside and what they find could reshape how we think about disease.

DNA holds our genetic blueprints, but its cousin, RNA, conducts our daily lives I n 1957, just four years after Francis Crick ...

Essentially all cells in an organism's body have the same genetic blueprint, or genome, but the set of genes that are ...

A new study shows that a non-coding RNA molecule regulates mitochondrial gene expression in human cells.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that serve as pivotal regulators of gene expression, playing crucial roles in plant growth, ...
