Definition: Non-coding RNA (ncRNA) is any RNA molecule that is transcribed from DNA but is not translated into a protein. Instead of serving as a protein blueprint, the RNA molecule itself is the ...

Scientists have found new genetic causes for diabetes in babies—in a part of the genome that has historically been overlooked in genetic studies. Until recently, most research has investigated causes ...

Current single-cell RNA atlases largely capture polyadenylated transcripts while missing critical regulatory layers from noncoding RNA. To address this, we develop a generalizable framework that ...

A long‑overlooked stretch of the human genome appears to play a distinct role in shaping the social and stereotypic repetitive behaviours that define Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), without affecting ...

Fig. 3: Ptchd1-as is critical for normal social interaction and communication patterns, and disruption results in ASD-like behaviours in mice. Repetitive behaviour is another key feature of ASD 22.
