circRNA, circular RNA; dsRNA, double-stranded RNA; lncRNA, long non-coding RNA; mRNA, messenger RNA; miRNA, microRNA; ncRNA, non-coding RNA; pre-miRNA, precursor miRNA; pri-miRNA, primary miRNA; RISC, ...

Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. But only two percent of the human genome actually encodes ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens ...

A joint research team has discovered a new molecular switch that determines when plant leaves begin to age. The research team has identified for the first time a new mechanism in which RNA made from ...

Researchers from the University of Texas and University of Tennessee set out to determine if the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) MALAT1 (metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1), which is ...

A study in mouse models and human tissue, carried out by researchers at the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), has found that the small nuceleolar RNA ...

A gene is a unit of inheritance, passed from parent to offspring, made up of DNA. Depending on the definition, a gene may be considered a stretch of DNA that acts as instructions for protein ...
