Safe coding is a collection of software design practices and patterns that allow for cost-effectively achieving a high degree ...

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 ...

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 ...

Although the participation of spliceosomes is almost always required for intron removal, a few types of genes have self-splicing RNA introns.
