RNA degradation is an essential process for maintaining cellular homeostasis, regulating both the quantity and quality of RNAs in the eukaryotic cell. RNA degradation typically occurs by ...

The human genome may contain more protein-coding genes than prior analyses suggested. A study published last month (May 29) on BioRxiv provides an expanded database of approximately 5,000 novel ...

Deep sequencing has revealed thousands of eukaryotic protein-coding genes that defy the central dogma, producing circular noncoding RNAs rather than linear messenger RNAs. For some genes, the ...

On Wednesday, the Nobel Committee announced that it had awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry to researchers who pioneered major breakthroughs in computational chemistry. These include two researchers ...

Researchers have identified a portion of the human genome known as PTCHD1-AS on the X chromosome that does not code for ...
