"These noncoding RNAs may yield new biomarkers and therapeutic targets for cancer treatment, a potential opportunity for personalized medicine given their cell type-specific expression," added ...

Hibernating animals' amazing abilities could lie within our own DNA—and perhaps their resilience could one day be ours too.

New research shows modifying noncoding RNA with N6-methyladenosine allows the RNA exosome to recognize a specific noncoding RNA associated with the genomic site that encodes the heavy chain of ...

Cheetham thinks that dogma about “junk DNA” has weighed down inquiry into the question of how much of it deserves that description. “It’s basically discouraged people from even finding out whether ...

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) could be a byproduct of transcription (i), a scaffold linking proteins (ii) or a guide bringing proteins to specified parts of the genome (iii).
