Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University of Bonn have discovered how a small, naturally occurring ...

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 ...

Although evolution awarded us with appendages and complex sensory systems, the human body, much like a worm, is simply a large tube transporting food from one end to the other. It is hard to imagine ...

What if the brain's response to stress could be read not in fleeting neurotransmitter bursts, but in the quieting of genes ...

A study in mouse models and human tissue, carried out by researchers at the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), has found that the small nuceleolar RNA ...

A joint research team has discovered a new molecular switch that determines when plant leaves begin to age. The research team has identified for the first time a new mechanism in which RNA made from ...

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 ...
