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, a vast universe of ...

Although there are many functions in the base package of R, sometimes there may not be a function that does exactly what you want. In this case, R allows users to create their own functions and call ...

In a study appearing in the June 24, 2010 issue of Nature, the authors describe a new regulatory role for RNA -- independent of their protein-coding function - that relies on their ability to ...

George Pieczenik, Predicting Coding Function from Nucleotide Sequence or Survival of ``Fitness'' of tRNA, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 77, No.

Case Western Reserve School of Medicine scientists identified thousands of novel lncRNA transcripts, some of which actually do direct the synthesis of proteins in cells.

Both functional neuroimaging in humans and electrophysiology in awake monkeys indicate that a fundamental principle of prefrontal function might be adaptive neural coding — in large regions of ...

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

There are some genes that can promote cancer; they are sometimes called oncogenes, and in tumor cells, mutations are often found in these genes. When they are functioning normally, oncogenes are often ...
