Short non-coding RNAs, such as transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (tRNA), have long been established for mediating the translation of genetic material into proteins.

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 ...

Researchers have discovered that mice possess a natural form of gene therapy, a non-coding RNA that can sidestep genetic mutations. They were able to engineer a programmable version that ...

Their findings, recently published in Nucleic Acids Research, spotlight TERRA—a long non-coding RNA transcribed from the ends of chromosomes—as a potential biomarker for age-related and ...

The majority of human genes is non-coding, including genes for long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA). These are RNA molecules with more than 200 building blocks that do not act as blueprints for proteins.

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.

Kim’s lab developed an RNA liquid biopsy platform that detects both protein-coding RNA and RNA dark matter in the blood, and showed that this new approach significantly improves the performance of ...

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a ...

Resalis Therapeutics today announced its completion of the seed financing round of €10 million to establish a non-coding RNA (ncRNA)-based therapeutic ...
