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 ...

Cognitive function is a complex trait consisting of mental processes that include attention, memory, processing speed, spatial ability, language and problem-solving 1,2,3,4. General cognitive function ...

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, ...

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.
