While it was once believed that genes regulated biological functions almost exclusively by being transcribed to coding RNAs that were then translated into proteins, it is now known that the picture is ...

We've sequenced the human genome, even the parts that are highly repetitive, don't code for protein, and are extremely challenging to analyze. Now it's time for scientists to investigate the parts of ...

ATLAS students will host the fourth annual T9Hacks the weekend of Feb. 9–10, promoting interest in creative technologies, coding, design and making among college women and non-binary individuals, who ...

The Central Dogma of molecular biology states that DNA encodes RNA, RNA encodes protein. While this process is certainly true for the vast majority gene regulatory functions, in recent years, ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are diverse and often do not have a clear connection to specific physiological processes. In a recent paper inCell Research, Ma et al. show that a novel lncRNA called ...

Existing compendia of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) are incomplete, in part because they are derived almost exclusively from small and polyadenylated RNAs. Here we present a more comprehensive atlas of the ...

Scientists have generated a comprehensive atlas of human long non-coding RNAs with substantially improved gene models, allowing them to better assess the diversity and functionality of these RNAs.
