Noncoding RNA plays a major role in gene expression and gene regulation, and its malfunction often results in abnormal cellular activity. This understanding led to development of treatment strategies ...

Researchers have made a significant advance in understanding how genes are controlled in living organisms. The new study focuses on critical snippets of RNA in the tiny, transparent roundworm ...

WASHINGTON — A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine provides a road map to develop the capacity to sequence any RNA molecule from any biological system with ...

The function of non-coding RNA in the cell has long been a mystery to researchers. Unlike coding RNA, non-coding RNA does not produce proteins -- yet it exists in large quantities. A research team has ...

Researchers from the University of Sheffield’s Institute of Translational Neuroscience have discovered how to prevent the death of nerve cells and protect nerves from neurodegeneration in the most ...

In 2018, the RNA Society endorsed Aug. 1 as annual World RNA Day, and depending on when you’re reading this article, the anniversary of that day is either upon you now or has likely passed you by ...

Several types of RNA help regulate gene expression, and a number of these transcripts have been linked to Alzheimer’s disease. However, no one has comprehensively examined how the regulatory RNA ...

Cells inherit protection from one of the sun’s overlooked harms—UV-damaged RNA. Although the harms of UV-damaged RNA aren’t as well recognized as the harms of UV-damaged DNA, they shouldn’t be ...
