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 has ...
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a genetic eye disorder affecting around one in 5,000 people worldwide. It typically begins with ...
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 ...
In RNA molecules, the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) is located directly upstream of the start codon and plays a crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation by controlling RNA stability, cellular ...
A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular ...
