See how small bits of non-coding RNA target ... sites are usually found in the coding regions, while in animals, they are often in the 3' untranslated region of mRNA (Chen & Rajewsky, 2007).

Ring-shaped extrachromosomal DNA is implicated in many cancers. Rachel Brazil talks to the scientists trying to uncover their ...

Padiath and his team identified a genetic element in the non-coding—or "junk DNA"—region of the genome. They found that the element physically interacts with lamin B1 gene and silences its ...

Within a gene, there are coding regions called exons, which contain the information for protein synthesis, and non ... in the DNA sequence. Methylation can lead to gene silencing by preventing ...

The MUSC researchers focused on long non-coding enhancer RNA (Inc-eRNA), a specific type of lncRNA that interacts with the regulatory region of target ... by forming an RNA:DNA "sandwich" in ...

One gene quickly stood out because its RNA was three times more abundant in eventually metastasizing tumor samples than in non-metastasizing ones ... that the RNA molecules themselves interact with ...
