Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that a specific long non-coding RNA activates oncogenic signaling pathways in prostate cancer cells and drives tumor progression, underscoring its ...
circRNA, circular RNA; dsRNA, double-stranded RNA; lncRNA, long non-coding RNA; mRNA, messenger RNA; miRNA, microRNA; ncRNA, non-coding RNA; pre-miRNA, precursor ...
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 ...
The expression of genes has to be very carefully controlled by cells; serious problems can arise when genes are expressed in the wrong places, at the wrong times, or at the wrong levels, for some ...
New genetic clue: Scientists identified PTCHD1-AS, a long non-coding RNA gene, as influencing autism's core social and repetitive behaviors without impacting learning or memory. Male susceptibility ...
The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a key player in understanding complex diseases. Following the landmark ...
