While studying Parkinson's disease, an international research group made a discovery which can improve industrial protein synthesis for therapeutic use. They managed to understand a novel function of ...

Profiling noncoding repetitive RNA sequences improves the sensitivity of liquid biopsy diagnostic tests for early stage cancers. As cancer is most treatable in its early stages, developing diagnostic ...

Evo’s success wasn’t limited to proteins. When they tested a different toxin that had an RNA-based inhibitor, the system ...

When a gene produces too much protein, it can have devastating consequences on brain development and function. Patients with an overproduction of protein from the chromodomain helicase DNA binding ...

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 ...

The vast non-coding portion of the human genome has had many names, including ‘junk’ and ‘dark matter.’ But research, including the international ENCODE project, has shown that these regions are ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are sections of RNA over 200 nucleotides in length that are not translated into proteins, remaining in the nucleus following transcription in relatively low concentration ...

Bayer executives were keen to stress to Fierce this summer that the German pharma giant’s appetite for dealmaking hasn’t been curbed by a groupwide restructuring. Its latest cancer-focused ...
