A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular ...

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...

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 ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) are a type of RNA molecule that do not carry instructions to make proteins. Instead, they influence how other genes are expressed. There are tens of thousands of lncRNAs ...

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have a significant role in gene regulation, especially in cancer and inflammatory diseases. ncRNAs, such as microRNA, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, alter the ...

A.I. tools from Microsoft and other companies are helping write code, placing software engineers at the forefront of the technology’s potential to disrupt the work force. By Steve Lohr Steve Lohr has ...

AWS said developers spend most of their time on non-coding tasks, lowering productivity. It introduced Amazon Q Developer, an AI agent to aid developers, at the re:Invent keynote on Tuesday. Junior ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules, typically 21–23 nucleotides in length, that play a crucial role in regulating gene expression. They function by binding to complementary ...

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 ...

Two scientists have been award the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discovery of microRNA. Victor Ambros, professor of molecular medicine at the University of Massachusetts Chan ...
