Method should help scientists understand regulation of gene expression Computational biologists at Carnegie Mellon University have developed a more accurate computational method for reconstructing the full-length nucleotide sequences of the RNA products in cells, called transcripts, that transform information from ...

Pervasive transcription of the human genome generates RNAs whose mode of formation and functions are largely uncharacterized. Now researchers from Yale University School of Medicine have discovered yet another type of RNA: DoGs, which stands for – downstream of gene containing ...

When the human genome was first sequenced, experts predicted they would find about 100,000 genes. The actual number has turned out to be closer to 20,000, just a few thousand more than fruit flies have. The question logically arose: how ...

from Oncology Nurse Advisor by Kathy Boltz, PhD Analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in a mouse model of pancreatic cancer identified distinct patterns of gene expression in several groups of CTCs, including significant differences from the primary tumor that ...
