Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that a specific long non-coding RNA activates oncogenic signaling pathways in prostate cancer cells and drives tumor progression, underscoring its ...

When researchers look for potential cancer therapy targets, they typically go after protein-coding genes that participate in disease progression. Disrupt them and negate whatever role they play in ...

Scientists have found new genetic causes for diabetes in babies—in a part of the genome that has historically been overlooked ...

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 ...

Profiling noncoding repetitive RNA sequences improves the sensitivity of liquid biopsy diagnostic tests for early stage cancers. As cancer is most treatable in its early stages, developing diagnostic ...

Purdue University researcher Andrea Kasinski is leading work on the relationship between microRNAs — small, non-coding ...

EMBL researchers created SDR-seq, a next-generation tool that decodes both DNA and RNA from the same cell. It finally opens access to non-coding regions, where most disease-associated genetic variants ...

A research team led by Sir Run-Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, has published a comprehensive ...
