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 ...

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 ...

Profiling noncoding repetitive RNA sequences improves the sensitivity of liquid biopsy diagnostic tests for early stage cancers. As cancer is most treatable in its early stages, developing diagnostic ...

A research team led by scientists at Columbia’s Zuckerman Institute used techniques including single cell genomics, to describe a previously undetected RNA-mediated mechanism in mice that could ...

A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular ...
