In a recent review published in Nature, a group of authors reviewed the progress and challenges in annotating the human genome, including protein-coding genes, isoforms, and non-coding ribonucleic ...

Non-coding regions, on the other hand, contain regulatory elements that guide how cells grow and function. Over 95% of disease-linked DNA variants occur in these non-coding regions, yet existing ...

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.

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 ...

Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

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 ...

A new review article published in Genes & Diseases explores the intricate relationship between non-coding RNAs and oxidative stress in cancer progression shedding new light on the mechanisms that ...
