We've sequenced the human genome, even the parts that are highly repetitive, don't code for protein, and are extremely challenging to analyze. Now it's time for scientists to investigate the parts of ...

Irregularities in the body's genetic coding to make proteins are linked to cancerous tumors. But most genetic material contains elements whose function isn't clear. Could abnormalities in non-coding ...

Non-coding RNAs are ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules that are not translated into proteins. Small non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs)-mediated gene regulation in RNA virus infections is an emerging area for ...

MicroRNAs are small (between just 21 and 23 nucleotides), non-coding RNA molecules. They are involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression and are found throughout the bloodstream ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing. The human genome is a vast landscape, with less than 2% of its sequence encoding proteins. For many years, ...

A team of UCSF researchers has for the first time used tiny molecules called microRNAs to help turn adult mouse cells back to their embryonic state. These reprogrammed cells are pluripotent, meaning ...
