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 ...

The function of noncoding RNA in the cell has long been a mystery to researchers. Unlike coding RNA, noncoding RNA does not produce proteins—yet it exists in large quantities.

In patients with this rare disorder, a long non-coding RNA called CHASERR (CHD2 adjacent, suppressive regulatory RNA) is deleted - the "foot" is taken off the "brake" - and CHD2 protein production ...

One such non-coding RNA is 4.5SH, found only in small rodents like mice and rats. The 4.5SH gene forms a large cluster of tandem repeats, short lengths of DNA repeated multiple times in a gene ...

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

Non-coding RNA has potential as marker, target in liver cancer. June 10, 2025. No Comments. Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most frequent form of primary liver cancer, and most patients are diagnosed ...

An international research team, led by Jian-Feng Mao, has developed PlantLncBoost, a new computational tool that helps to identify long non-coding RNAs in plants. These RNAs are crucial for ...

Regions of DNA that do not code for proteins may also be considered genes if they produce noncoding RNA with biological functions. Protein-coding versus noncoding genes When deciding the number of ...
