This study is the first to demonstrate that certain tRNA introns influence gene expression. Scientists have discovered that ...

Proteins that trigger cell senescence occupy much of the literature on aging, but a small RNA moves into the limelight. Kamal is a freelance science journalist based in the UK with a PhD in virology ...

RNA interference (RNAi) is a cellular mechanism that uses small RNA molecules, such as small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and miRNAs, to silence gene expression. These small RNAs can bind to ...

Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to ...

Using a new technology and computational method, researchers from Fred Hutch Cancer Center and The University of Texas MD ...

Inaccuracies in RNA splicing may play a significant role in aging and disease. Here, the authors present a comprehensive characterization of splicing accuracy across over 14,000 human samples ...
