See how small bits of non-coding RNA target mRNA for destruction and regulate gene expression. Evidence has also shown that siRNA is involved in antiviral defense in certain plant and animal species.

Most eukaryotes also make use of small noncoding RNAs to regulate gene expression. For example, the enzyme Dicer finds double-stranded regions of RNA and cuts out short pieces that can serve in a ...

Diederichs pooled the RNA samples from each group and analyzed the differences in gene ... that inhibit expression of tumor and metastasis suppressor genes, among others. HOTAIR has so far been linked ...

Several types of RNA help regulate gene expression ... as well as how each RNA correlates with gene expression. Celeste Karch at Washington University in St. Louis called this an important resource ...

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Alternative splicing (AS), a ...

The tiny strings of RNA promote translation of a protein implicated in cancer, a hint they could regulate gene expression in more ways than previously thought. Holly Barker is a freelance journalist ...

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like propionate and butyrate are critical byproducts of dietary fiber digestion. These molecules do more than fuel the body—they directly influence gene expression and ...

TComparison of a single-stranded RNA and a double-stranded DNA with their corresponding nucleobases (Image: Wikimedia Commons, CC SA 3.0) The nucleotides are connected through phosphodiester bonds, ...

Using a new technology and computational method, researchers from Fred Hutch Cancer Center and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have uncovered a biomarker capable of accurately ...

I am a biophysicist currently developing genomic tools to understand RNA biology. My long-term goals are to characterize how genetic information encoded in RNAs, both in coding and non-coding ...
