Series 01 January 2018 Non-coding RNA With improved methods to explore the transcriptome, in recent years there have been great advances in identifying and understanding non-coding RNAs.

Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) genes produce functional RNA molecules rather than encoding proteins. However, almost all means of gene identification assume that genes encode proteins, so even in the era ...

As DNA is transcribed into RNA it needs to be edited to remove non-coding regions, or introns, shown in green. This editing process is called splicing, which involves removing the introns, leaving ...

Non-coding antisense RNA can be used to stimulate protein production Date: October 16, 2012 Source: RIKEN Summary: While studying Parkinson's disease, an international research group made a ...

"This survey of functional noncoding RNAs advances our understanding of the human genome and demonstrates the potential of CRISPR screens that specifically target RNA—even those that don't code ...

A new study shows that a non-coding RNA molecule regulates mitochondrial gene expression in human cells.

One of the things we learned in this study is that the deletion of a specific long non-coding RNA changes the expression of a particular gene called CHD2.

An important player in the healthy development of female embryos turns out also to play a key role in regulating the behavior of chromosome loops and gene expression in both sexes, according to a ...

These RNA molecules, called “non-coding RNAs,” play essential roles in cells by interacting with and modulating the activities of proteins.

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 ...
