Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to ...

Using yeast as a study model, Hopper's team saw several years ago that some lopped-off intron sequences were complementary to mRNA sequences, signaling the introns might have importance to ...

They zeroed in on a specific repeat sequence identified within an intron of the CASP8 gene, and found it led to production of poly-glycine-arginine repeat peptides. Aggregates from such dipeptide ...
