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 ...

The prefrontal cortex is crucial for effective, organized behaviour. On the basis of data from functional neuroimaging in humans and single-cell electrophysiology in the behaving monkey, this paper ...

Researchers from the Case Western Reserve School of Medicine say they have not only identified thousands of novel long noncoding ribonucleic acid (lncRNA) transcripts but also discovered that, ...
