Human genes that encode proteins often contain non-coding segments known as introns. Removing introns is crucial for the proper expression of genetic information. Understanding how our cells ...

A new review article published in Genes & Diseases explores the intricate relationship between non-coding RNAs and oxidative stress in cancer progression shedding new light on the mechanisms that ...

In RNA molecules, the 5′ untranslated region (UTR) is located directly upstream of the start codon and plays a crucial role in post-transcriptional regulation by controlling RNA stability, cellular ...

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 ...

A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular genetic structures, termed obelisks, differ from known viruses and bacteria and ...
