What are Micro-RNAs (miRNAs)? Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small, non-coding RNA molecules that play a crucial role in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. These tiny ...
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 ...
Researchers are investigating the role of non-coding DNA, or junk DNA, in regulating astrocytes, brain cells involved in ...
