A Ph.D. graduate student in biomolecular engineering at UC Santa Cruz, with a background in computer science and mathematics, ...

DNA makes RNA, RNA makes protein, protein makes phenotype—was the guiding framework for understanding inheritance and disease ...

RNA performs a given function itself (non-coding RNA, or ncRNAs). Human genome and transcriptome sequencing show that approximately 76 % of the genome is transcribed, but only 2 % of this codes ...

RNA sequences involved in regulating gene expression identified Date: July 29, 2020 ... Unlike coding RNA, non-coding RNA does not produce proteins -- yet it exists in large quantities.

Recent developments in methods for RNA sequencing have led to an increased understanding of transcriptomes — both qualitative and quantitative. Ongoing developments include advances in direct ...

Once dismissed as “junk,” a group of RNA molecules has been found to help regrow damaged nerves in mice in new research. The ...

Using CRISPR-Cas13 to edit RNA and avoid off-target activity, the researchers systematically profiled nearly 6,200 gene pairs of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and nearby protein-coding genes ...

A strategy that analyzes the structural properties of RNA could help identify regions that are promising targets for antiviral drugs.

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 ...

These RNA molecules are named non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) ... regulate gene expression by binding to complementary sequences on target mRNAs, leading to mRNA cleavage, ...

Linked to neurological disorders, repeat RNAs aggregate inside droplets but can be disassembled with an engineered piece of ...
