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

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

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

To study—and potentially modify—the functions of non-coding RNAs, we need to determine their structure. Scientists from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the Hebrew ...

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 ...

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

A liquid biopsy diagnostic that detects noncoding RNA in addition to protein-coding RNA improves early stage cancer diagnosis.

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 ...

The overwhelming majority of genes in the human genome encode RNA molecules that are not translated into proteins. These RNA molecules are named non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). ncRNAs play a crucial ...

RNA liquid biopsy technology developed by the Kim lab aims to detect cancer by sequencing “cell-free RNA” in a patient’s blood to test for the presence of both protein-coding and repetitive noncoding ...

RNA-sequencing is a technique that can examine the quantity and sequences of RNA in a sample using next-generation sequencing. Here, we look at why RNA-seq is useful, how the technique works and ...

A newly identified long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), named lnc2300, plays a protective role in ovarian granulosa cells but is sharply downregulated under ...
