Newly Discovered Glycosylated RNA Is All Over Cells: Study
Christie Wilcox, PhD | May 18, 2021 | 8 min read
Prior to a 2019 preprint, “glycoRNAs” weren’t known to exist. Now, the researchers who found them say they’re on lots of cells and may play a role in immune signaling.
The Human Genome: RNA Machine
John S. Mattick | Oct 1, 2007 | 7 min read
The Human Genome: RNA Machine Contrary to current dogma, most of the genome may be functional. John S. Mattick Related Articles 1 The idea of "junk DNA" is also based on the assumption that most genetic information is transacted via proteins, an assumption that dates back half a century to a time when the pioneers of molecular biology were studying bacteria, wherein most genes do indeed encode proteins. By contrast, protein coding sequences occupy only ~1.2% of the
