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 ...

A pro-tumor environment in the cell can encourage a gene to produce an alternative form of RNA that enables cancer to spread, report researchers. A mechanism that pushes a certain gene to produce ...

The authors show that the long non-coding RNA called A-ROD (Activating Regulator Of DKK1 expression) is only functional the moment it is released from chromatin into the nucleoplasm. At this ...

They managed to understand a novel function of non-protein coding RNA: the protein synthesis activity of coding genes can be enhanced by the activity of the non-coding one called "antisense." ...

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 ...

circRNA, circular RNA; dsRNA, double-stranded RNA; lncRNA, long non-coding RNA; mRNA, messenger RNA; miRNA, microRNA; ncRNA, non-coding RNA; pre-miRNA, precursor ...

The ribosome is composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and proteins. Additional molecules also regulate its activity. One such molecule is non-coding RNA (ncRNA), which controls mRNA function and ...

RNA contains regions of information called noncoding and coding segments. For a long time, scientists thought noncoding regions of DNA and RNA weren’t very important. However, scientists are now just ...

A non-coding RNA lasso catches proteins in breast cancer cells Date: April 24, 2018 Source: Aarhus University Summary: A Danish-German research team has shown that not only the where and when of ...
