Hallmark cancer gene regulates RNA ‘dark matter’

Scienmag

A key genetic mutation that occurs early on in cancer alters RNA “dark matter” and causes the release of previously unknown RNA biomarkers for cancer early detection, a new study by UC Santa Cruz researchers published in the journal Cell Reports shows. Credit: Daniel H. Kim A key genetic mutation that occurs early on in […].

Scientists discover small RNA that regulates bacterial infection

The Pharma Data

Scientists discover small RNA that regulates bacterial infection People with weakened immune systems are at constant risk of infection. Further tests showed that the gene also regulates bacterial respiration under low oxygen conditions. They named the small RNA SicX (sRNA inducer of chronic infection X).
