Several years ago, biologists discovered a new type of genetic material known as long noncoding RNA. This RNA does not code for proteins and is copied from sections of the genome once believed to be ...

Junk DNA refers to regions of the genome that did not at first appear to have any function or relevance. Research over time has revealed that in fact, these regions have importance, even if it’s not ...

Researchers at MIT say they have deciphered the structure of one type of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and used that information to figure out how it interacts with a cellular protein to control the ...
