By examining genomic variation more closely, scientists can now identify new disease connections with greater speed and accuracy. For centuries, scientists have recognized that certain illnesses can ...

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are central regulators of post-transcriptional gene expression. They modulate key aspects of mRNA metabolism—such as splicing, ...

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are RNA molecules that do not encode proteins but are involved in dynamic cellular regulatory processes. 1 These molecules influence various central nervous system (CNS) ...

A new review article published in Genes & Diseases explores the intricate relationship between non-coding RNAs and oxidative stress in cancer progression shedding new light on the mechanisms that ...

In the post-genomic era, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as critical regulators in various cancers and hold potential as minimally invasive diagnostic biomarkers. This study aimed to ...

A new review article highlights the transformative role of circular RNA (circRNA) in cancer, revealing its potential as both a key player in tumor biology and a promising avenue for future therapies.

Researchers have mapped the spatial distribution of around 700 long non-coding RNAs, otherwise known as lncRNAs, in the testes. The team discovered much higher levels of lncRNAs in the testes than had ...

Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to ...

Over the past two decades, scientists discovered that the majority of melanic wing color variants are controlled by a single genomic region surrounding the protein-coding gene 'cortex'. It was assumed ...
