Indeed, advances in technology have revealed that much of the noncoding genome gives rise to lncRNAs and other RNA molecules that affect all manner of cellular processes. “The vast majority of the ...

The involvement of noncoding mRNAs in many regulatory ... has led to the hypothesis that an "RNA world" may have preceded the evolution of DNA and proteins (Gilbert, 1986). Small interfering ...

Much of the "junk" DNA in Drosophila shows signs of either negative or positive selection, according to a study in this week's Nature. An analysis by Peter Andolfatto of the University of California, ...

It is the first big biopharma group to tap into Haya's platform, which identifies genes coding for long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), a group that makes up a large proportion of the genome. That is a ...

The main function of RNA is to convert genetic information from DNA into proteins. Non-coding RNA molecules don't carry genetic information that would later be converted to proteins. "We discovered ...

Three unrelated children with deletions of CHASERR, a long non-coding RNA, had a severe neurological ... they did a follow-up genome -- not just looking at the exome, but the overwhelming majority ...

In the classic view of the transcriptome, RNA polymerase initiates ... biologically significant noncoding RNAs and transcriptional noise are unknown. From a whole-genome perspective, it will ...

carries the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes, where proteins are synthesized. Transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) are involved in the translation of mRNA into proteins. Various ...
