A piece of “junk DNA” could be the key to extinguishing fear-related memories for people struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and phobia, according to a study from...

Expression profiles of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) across diverse biological conditions provide significant insights into their biological functions, interacting targets as well as transcriptional reliability. However, there lacks a comprehensive resource that systematically characterizes the expression landscape of human lncRNAs ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can act as scaffolds that promote the interaction of proteins, RNA, and DNA. There is increasing evidence of sequence-specific interactions of lncRNAs with DNA via...

The ALS Research Forum – A new genomic resource may help researchers unravel the role of key RNA-binding proteins in ALS. The atlas, developed at the Riken Institute in Yokohama, Japan, contains 27,919 long non-coding RNAs – including 19,175 potentially ...

Current approaches to profiling tissue-specific gene expression in C. elegans require delicate manipulation and are difficult under certain conditions, e.g. from dauer or aging worms. Researchers at Tsinghua University have developed an easy and robust method for tissue-specific RNA-seq by ...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) constitute a large, yet mostly uncharacterized fraction of the mammalian transcriptome. Such characterization requires a comprehensive, high-quality annotation of their gene structure and boundaries, which is currently lacking. Here researchers from the Barcelona Institute of Science ...

GHENT, Belgium, October 15, 2015 – Biogazelle NV today announced a research-stage collaboration with Isis Pharmaceuticals in which they will identify and validate novel targets to treat colon, liver and lung cancer, diseases with clear unmet clinical needs. As part ...

Recent transcriptome annotation using deep sequencing approaches have annotated a large number of long non-coding RNAs in zebrafish, a popular model organism for human diseases. These studies characterized lncRNAs in critical developmental stages as well as adult tissues. Each of ...

The eukaryotic transcriptome is composed of thousands of coding and long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs). However, we lack a software platform to identify both RNA classes in a given transcriptome. Here researchers from the Anton Dohrn – Zoological Station introduce Annocript, ...
