RNA performs a given function itself (non-coding RNA, or ncRNAs). Human genome and transcriptome sequencing show that approximately 76 % of the genome is transcribed, but only 2 % of this codes ...

Your DNA is continually damaged by sources both inside and outside your body. One especially severe form of damage called a ...

The authors compare quality metrics of libraries from seven strand-specific RNA-seq methods in terms of complexity, strand specificity, evenness and continuity of coverage, and expression profiling.

The non-coding RNA soaks up a microRNA that prevents epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, one of the key features of tumor development. From one gene, cells can often produce different forms of RNA.

As the DNA template strand moves through the RNA polymerase it builds an RNA strand that is complimentary to the transcribed DNA strand. 3. ... RNA polymerase II also produces micro RNA (miRNA) ...

Much of the non-coding RNA is produced as the complementary strand to mRNA and is therefore referred to as antisense RNA (asRNA). Their function has been unclear for a long time.

New research shows modifying noncoding RNA with N6-methyladenosine allows the RNA exosome to recognize a specific noncoding RNA associated with the genomic site that encodes the heavy chain of ...

These RNA molecules are named non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). ncRNAs play a crucial role in the regulation of gene expression and abnormalities in ncRNAs can cause disease progression, ...

Using CRISPR-Cas13 to edit RNA and avoid off-target activity, the researchers systematically profiled nearly 6,200 gene pairs of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) and nearby protein-coding genes ...

A fusion gene is a new gene made by joining parts of two different genes. The current thought is that fusion genes can happen in cells with unstable genome when part of the DNA from one chromosome ...
