Understanding how long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate gene expression and genome structure remains a major challenge in ...

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 ...

A study on non-coding RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) from prostate cancer patients has identified a series of new prostate cancer markers which can be found in urine. Combining these RNA markers into a single ...

Although evolution awarded us with appendages and complex sensory systems, the human body, much like a worm, is simply a large tube transporting food from one end to the other. It is hard to imagine ...

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 ...

When researchers look for potential cancer therapy targets, they typically go after protein-coding genes that participate in ...

Cancer is most treatable in its early stages, so finding innovative and non-invasive methods to diagnose cancer early on is crucial for fighting the disease. Liquid biopsies, which require just a ...

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 ...
