Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. But only two percent of the human genome actually encodes ...

Cancer is most treatable in its early stages, so finding innovative and non-invasive methods to diagnose cancer early on is crucial for fighting the disease. Liquid biopsies, which require just a ...

Low expression of BAZ2B may promote breast cancer progression by reshaping tumour metabolism. Read on to learn more.

Various sayings equate going fast with going alone. But none of them apply to the gene expression journey described by a research team from the University of Göttingen. The team, led by Heike Krebber, ...

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 ...

Ribonucleic acid, also called RNA, is a molecule present in all living cells. It plays a critical role in transmitting genetic instructions from DNA and creating proteins. With the power to execute a ...

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 ...
