The advent of high-throughput sequencing uncovered that our genome is pervasively transcribed into RNAs that are seemingly not translated into proteins. It was also found that non-coding RNA ...

Research on long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a previously unsuspected major output of genomes of complex organisms, has been dogged by uncertainty and controversy from its beginning. lncRNAs have the ...

Researchers have uncovered a vast new class of previously unrecognized mammalian genes that do not encode proteins, but instead function as long RNA molecules, and seem to play critical roles in both ...

Researchers from the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine say they have not only identified thousands of novel long noncoding ribonucleic acid (lncRNA) transcripts but also discovered that, ...

Scientific research over the past decade has concentrated almost exclusively on the 2 percent of the genome's protein coding regions, virtually ignoring the other 98 percent. Investigators now reveal ...

Scripps Research postdoctoral researcher Kaushik Chanda explores the mechanisms by which non-coding transcripts modulate neuronal function and structural integrity during learning and memory loss.

The majority of the DNA, which is turned into non-coding RNA, is as yet under-investigated. Therefor Postdoc Peter Kindgren from Copenhagen Plant Science Centre at University of Copenhagen has ...
