RNA epigenetics also called Epitranscriptomics is an evolving field of research that explores chemical modifications on RNA and their impact on the cell and ...

Neuronal specification, expansion and differentiation are tightly regulated by the concerted actions of transcription and chromatin modifying factors that are recruited to regulatory elements in the ...

Researchers at the University of Exeter and international collaborators have identified a previously unknown genetic cause of ...

For years, two siblings with the distinctive facial features of Treacher Collins syndrome had no genetic explanation for ...

A study shows that changes in noncoding genes can trigger autoimmune diabetes in infants by affecting hundreds of ...

Neonatal autoimmune diabetes is caused by mutations in non-coding genes RNU4ATAC and RNU6ATAC, which disrupt gene regulation ...

Scientists have identified a new RNA molecule that may play a key role in improving survival in cancer patients.

A research team led by Sir Run-Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, has published a comprehensive review in ExRNA that sorts out ...

Scientists have found new genetic causes for diabetes in babies – in a part of the genome that has historically been overlooked in genetic studies. Until recently, most research has investigated ...

Buried in DNA once written off as “background noise”, a tiny non-coding gene has been tied to a surprisingly common childhood brain disorder. Could this hidden culprit finally give thousands of UK ...

To understand the human genome, scientists focused on protein-coding genes and their functions for decades. This has given us invaluable knowledge about the inner workings of the human body. But that ...

We knew we had something interesting with T3p, a single small RNA found in breast cancer but absent from normal tissue. After being described in 2018, this molecule took our team on a six-year journey ...
