Once considered cellular junk, non-coding RNAs are emerging as key players in everything from brain development to cancer — ...

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 ...

To understand the human genome, scientists focused on protein-coding genes and their functions for decades. This has given us ...

Scientists profiling small non-coding RNAs in postmortem brain tissue from people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have identified sweeping molecular disruptions that extend well beyond the ...

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 ...

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a genetic eye disorder affecting around one in 5,000 people worldwide. It typically begins with night blindness in youth and progresses to tunnel vision as ...

Researchers have mapped the spatial distribution of around 700 long non-coding RNAs, otherwise known as lncRNAs, in the testes. The team discovered much higher levels of lncRNAs in the testes than had ...

Impact of variant allele frequency (VAF) of TP53 alterations and Signatera circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) monitoring for patients (pts) with advanced urothelial carcinoma (aUC) treated with enfortumab ...

Three studies published in Nature Genetics look at the identification of a common recessive neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD).
