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 ...

Scientists have sequenced RNA from a nearly 40,000-year-old woolly mammoth leg, the oldest ancient RNA ever recovered. These ...

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 ...

The discovery of a juvenile woolly mammoth named Yuka, found in Siberian permafrost with its skin and muscles intact, has already marked paleontological history. A team of scientists has just ...

In 2010, researchers in northeastern Siberia stumbled upon a genetic goldmine: the remarkably well-preserved remains of a juvenile woolly mammoth. The animal, named Yuka, died nearly 39,000 years ago, ...

Obelisks—tiny RNA circles with protein-coding genes—have been found in the human microbiome, revealing a hidden RNA universe ...

A group of Stanford researchers has hacked Moderna’s messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine for the novel coronavirus, Motherboard first reported on Monday, and published its entire genetic sequence on the open ...

Noncoding RNA is a surprisingly large component of RNA. Consider the ribosomal RNAs, the tRNAs, the miRNAs, the snRNAs, and others. The noncoding RNA database aims to serve researchers interested in ...

Although you may not appreciate them, or have even heard of them, throughout your body, countless microscopic machines called spliceosomes are hard at work. As you sit and read, they are faithfully ...
