We've sequenced the human genome, even the parts that are highly repetitive, don't code for protein, and are extremely challenging to analyze. Now it's time for scientists to investigate the parts of ...

Scientific research over the past decade has concentrated almost exclusively on the 2 percent of the genome's protein coding regions, virtually ignoring the other 98 percent. Investigators now reveal ...

Non-coding RNAs constitute almost 98% of the human genome. Long non-coding RNA (Lnc RNA) is a large class of this family where the RNA sequences are more than 200 nucleotides long and do not encode ...

Properties of the mRNA coding for the large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase from Chlamydomonas reinhardi were determined. Large subunit synthesis, directed RNA from partially purified ...

Postdoc Peter Kindgren from Copenhagen Plant Science Centre at University of Copenhagen has received an EU Marie Curie grant to examine whether non-coding RNA play an important role in plants' ability ...

A new study published in the journal Cell shows that a non-coding RNA molecule regulates mitochondrial gene expression in human cells. The work results from a collaboration between the University of ...

Scientists have uncovered a novel mechanism regulating gene expression and transcription linked to Spinocerebellar ataxia 7, an inherited neurological disorder. The discovery promises to have broad ...

Obelisks are <1 kb RNA replicators with protein-coding genes and ribozymes * Found in 50% of oral and 7% of gut microbiomes, indicating widespread presence * Their impact on //human health remains ...
