Small peptides of 100 amino acids or fewer are encoded by small open reading frames (smORFs) and mediate key physiological functions in animals and humans. smORFs constitute 99% of transcribed, but ...

Scientific research over the past decade has concentrated almost exclusively on the 2 percent of the genome's protein coding regions, virtually ignoring the other 98 percent. Investigators now reveal ...

Researchers have uncovered a vast new class of previously unrecognized mammalian genes that do not encode proteins, but instead function as long RNA molecules, and seem to play critical roles in both ...

In everyday use, Tabby works how you'd want a coding assistant to work. For one, it doesn't operate like a chat assistant ...

In genetics, the term junk DNA refers to regions of DNA that are non-coding. Some of this noncoding DNA is used to produce noncoding RNA components such as transfer RNA, regulatory RNA and ribosomal ...
