In 1957, just four years after Francis Crick and other scientists solved the riddle of DNA’s structure—the now famous double ...

The human genome predominantly encodes RNA molecules that do not translate into proteins, known as non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). These ncRNAs play pivotal roles in gene expression regulation and their ...

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

DNA’s chemical cousin, RNA, was the messenger that carries DNA instructions from the double helix in the cell’s nucleus to ...

The function of noncoding RNA in the cell has long been a mystery to researchers. Unlike coding RNA, noncoding RNA does not produce proteins—yet it exists in large quantities.

The ability to correct disease-causing genetic mistakes using genome editors holds great promise in medicine, but it is not ...

Female brains process past mistakes differently, shaped by a specific RNA. This could explain sex-based differences in depression risk and decision-making. A type of RNA that has historically received ...

Similar to the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres—regions of repetitive DNA sequences ...

Knocking down EPIC1 sensitized triple negative breast tumor-bearing mice to immunotherapy with the PD-1 inhibitor pembrolizumab.
