In Biology 101, we learn that RNA is a single, ribbon-like strand of base pairs that is copied from our DNA and then read like a recipe to build a protein. But there's more to the story. Some RNA ...

The research showed that splicing in downstream sequences of a gene (known as 3' untranslated regions, or 3' UTRs) is pervasive in cancers, especially in genes linked to tumor aggression.

The DNA code (sequence of bases) is found on the coding strand. close coding strand Bases on one strand of DNA used as code for amino acids. Three bases (a base triplet) code for one amino acid ...

Studies have found that about 25% of protein-coding genes overlap in the human genome. Of these overlaps, the frequency of same-strand overlap is higher than that in the opposite-strand overlap.
