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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 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 ...

We mapped the human genome decades ago, but most of it is still a black box. Now, UNSW scientists have developed a tool to ...

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.

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

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.
