Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a genetic eye disorder affecting around one in 5,000 people worldwide. It typically begins with night blindness in youth and progresses to tunnel vision as ...

Purdue University researcher Andrea Kasinski is leading work on the relationship between microRNAs — small, non-coding ...

Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. But only two percent of the human genome actually encodes ...

To understand the human genome, scientists focused on protein-coding genes and their functions for decades. This has given us invaluable knowledge about the inner workings of the human body. But that ...

Scientists profiling small non-coding RNAs in postmortem brain tissue from people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder ...

In RNA molecules, the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) is located directly upstream of the start codon and plays a crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation by controlling RNA stability, cellular ...

With AI, it's now possible for researchers to predict the three-dimensional structures of proteins directly from their ...

When a gene produces too much protein, it can have devastating consequences on brain development and function. Patients with an overproduction of protein from the chromodomain helicase DNA binding ...
